This camp is designed to keep even the sharpest
camper on their toes. Parents will appreciated
the fact that many resources sight the positive
affect that playing chess has on a childs self-esteem,
patience, critical thinking and problem solving
skills.
This weeklong camp will include hands on instruction
in the mind warfare of chess and backgammon as
well as the less intense game of checkers. Even
the novice chess player is welcome to join in
this week of instruction, play and competition
because players will be paired up with opponents
based on skill.
Campers will have the chance midweek to see the
digital side of chess and backgammon when they
set up a virtual chess or backgammon match online.
Weeklong instruction and play will be in preparation
for a chess/backgammon tournament on Friday. Campers
will choose their strongest game and play for
a position for the Campers Hall of Fame Board.
This Camp is open to boys and girls ages
7-12
