2025 Summer Chess Camp Guide
Summer comes so fast, and even though it's still four months away, we've already got some big plans in the works. We know that champions are minted in the summer, because nothing accelerates learning and rating point gain like immersive learning in a competitive environment.
Our summer camps now feature TWO rated games per day, meaning that each week of summer camp is like a TEN round tournament. We know that the combination of lessons and activities tailored to your child's strength level PLUS lots of rated play EQUALS extremely quick improvement.
This summer we will have five sites running around the city: our original midtown camp at PS 33, our upper east side site at Trevor Day, along with our flagship Brooklyn site at PS 230, and our advanced training site at our Elite Club House, for players 1200 USCF and above, led by GM Alex Lenderman.
Our current tier of Early Bird pricing runs through the end of February, so jump in now.
As we head into the major championships in the coming months, our coaches are excited to see last summer's crop of champs finally reap the rewards they put so much time and energy into. And we're so happy to support them!
Let me know if you have any questions about how to engage your child with meaningful chess activities this summer. Please see full schedule and details including registration links below.
