Come join Chess4Life for a week of exciting chess fun! Students K - 8^th Grade are invited to come explore the adventurous world of chess with our experienced instructors.

Every student will be taught at their level of understanding as our instructors make the game come to life through their lessons! Proven to increase skills such as reasoning, pattern recognition, math calculations, and overall ability to learn, chess is recognized worldwide as a valuable resource for developing children's minds for learning. Using curriculum created by National Master Elliott Neff and the Chess4Life curriculum development team, our coaching staff are expertly trained in cultivating students' excitement for learning!

Chess4Life is a great place to bring friends and make new ones! Every student has room to grow and play, while learning valuable life skills in each of our camps. Drop-off and pick-up schedule options are available for busy families like yours, with creative, fun and engaging after-camp programs. Your child will be well taken care of!

Activities & Instruction

Each camp provides an education program tailored to your child's needs by assessment on the first day. Our specialized Chess4Life Coaching Team will place each camper into the most appropriate group, with the goal of challenging with new material, reinforcing a solid foundation, and encouraging growth of positive life skills. Groups are designed with a low student to coach ratio to promote quality instruction and a personalized experience.

Each day campers will engage in a wide variety of topics from opening principles, middle game tactics and various endgame strategies to learning famous games of Grandmasters and more! With daily tournament games every camper will have a chance to practice what is taught and compete for awards! Other fun activities include puzzles, recess, bug-house & blitz, and many more!
