2023 Summer Camp
The camp is designed for K-12 participants of the current academic year. The Camp Director may approve additional requests, if he deems them well justified. The purpose of the camps is to improve students’ chess skills in a fun and engaging environment. To improve the learning efficiency, the participants will be split into training groups. Each group will have 5-10 students. No prior chess knowledge is required to join the camps. A separate instructor will be assigned to each group. Grandmaster Bartek Macieja will be among the instructors.
