We take about 30 students in each camp, sometimes more
in the full-day camps, always on a first-come basis. Most
camps fill, so we recommend mailing your registration

We cannot accept registrations on-line.
To register, you must mail us a registration form along with a check.

In addition to teaching chess, we engage in a variety of recreational
activities in each camp. We supply snacks each day and organize
games like Capture the Flag. We go swimming in some of
the full-day camps in the suburbs. Some full-day
camps have the availability of an after-care problem-solving
enrichment program until 5:00 p.m. for an additional fee.
Partial scholarships usually are available for those who
need them. Camp fees include a camp T-shirt.

Additional camps are being scheduled.

Cancellation policy:
Camp registration fees are refundable until one week before the start of camp with a $10 administrative fee. Between one week and the start of camp, 50% of camp fees will be refunded. After the start of the camp there will be no refund.
