Regular & Master Chess Camp
Strategy Camp |
Regular Camp: we welcome any child of 5 years or older to our Regular Chess Camps.
Prior chess knowledge is NOT required to attend the camp, we regularly get absolute beginners, beginner and intermediate players at these camps.

Master Camp: This chess camp is for our ambitious and dedicated students only, who are rated 1000 or above, or with special coach recommendation. These camps are taught by titled instructors (Grandmasters, International Masters, or Fide or National Masters.) The coaches will provide top-level instruction, aimed at challenging the students in an engaging way. Each day will include tactical exercises, lectures, training games, and individual student
attention.

Strategy Game Camp: Strategy Games camp is an innovative and fun way to teach children the logic and strategy of games in a way that incorporates many STEM concepts. We use a variety of games (board games, original games, puzzle and tile games etc.) to introduce the student to concepts in probability, game theory, pattern recognition, deductive reasoning and creative thinking that leads to optimal decision making
in games. Students should be at least 8 years old or have prior approval of the instructor. Coaches James Bethany and Wolfgang Behm will lead the camps, bringing their vast experience in Strategy Games teaching to make a unique and fun filled week! No Strategy Games camp is the same, as the coaches incorporate a variety of different games and the selection can vary from week to week. Please register fast as we only have 4 weeks of Strategy Games camp over the summer.
