Chess is one of the most popular strategy games and has been around for centuries! Like most strategy games, chess requires careful planning and thinking. Our two-day chess camp for beginners will lay the chess fundamentals.

Why Chess Camp?

Regularly playing chess is known to improve cognitive skills, concentration, memory capacity, pattern recognition, decision making, problem-solving, spatial reasoning, critical thinking and self-confidence. Chess helps kids to develop valuable life skills that will set them up for future success.
