***PRE-REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED***

Spend a week playing and learning about chess from the Shining Knights chess coaches! Our coaches are highly rated professional chess instructors who have taught tens of thousands of children to play, many of whom have won state and national championships. Campers are broken up into groups by skill level, so we accept anyone from total beginners up through experienced and highly-rated tournament players. Each camper receives a Tshirt and a tournament-style chess set. Activities include learning openings, tactics, endgames, studying master games, playing rated games against fellow students, and analyzing the students' games. Campers will take short breaks for snacks and fresh air every hour. Full Day Campers will enjoy lunch and recess for an hour from 12:00-1:00 (please bring packed lunch).
