Chess NYC Camps Every Day Schools are Closed

Making Chess Cool..."Just About Everyday Schools are Closed" | 5 Years Running


U.E.S (PS 183) | Greenwich Village (Zinc) - Limited Space

Chess NYC's policy of "Chess Should be Fun" truly prevails for these cool days or weeks of Chess Camp! From Chess Leaders to Grand Master, this Camp is sure to captivate, motivate and generate chess players. Each child will receive as much chess time as they like while enjoying, mind clearing, fun, cooling (sometimes wet), break opportunities. Overflowing with supervision, special attention to those with greater commitment levels to Chess, as well as those who need an extra boost are a few of the advantages of this (Chess) Fun! That and great play send Campers home to a peaceful, satisfying, sleep for sure!

"Our child did a one week camp session and he went from having only a basic knowledge of the pieces to playing competitively with family members. I see his self confidence growing in his own intelligence with his increased mastery of chess. He loved every day at camp and is asking to go back. The most dramatic result is that our child is asking to play a game of chess instead of the usual video games! We are very appreciative."
