Join us for our week long Scholastic Spring Day Camp at one of our two locations, Glen Rock or Teaneck, NJ!
Our Spring Camp program offers kids ages 6-16 the opportunity to grow intellectually within a safe and fun environment. With a 6:1 ratio of campers to counselors, we have a ton of fun learning chess, playing sports, and competing for prizes! Campers are assigned a coach and break out into morning lessons where we solve puzzles, analyze games, and discover new ideas about our favorite game. The small groups are divided by level and age so campers can have fun and maximize their learning.
Of course, every coach brings new ideas and challenges. At our most recent Summer Camp, many of the experienced campers impressed their friends by memorizing entire grandmaster games, with one camper even showing the match blindfolded!
While there is Advanced and Elite Chess Training in our summer programs, all Chess levels from beginner to advanced are encouraged and welcome!
We also have fun playing sports outside, warming up in the morning with a camp classic dodgeball parody "Circle of Doom", and returning before lunch to play dodgeball, soccer, or play on the playground.
After lunch is the tournament! Campers compete for daily prizes, and tournament games are often analyzed during the morning lessons.
Sometimes after the tournament campers have a chance to compete against their coaches in a simul exhibition (one coach takes on any and all challengers). On Friday, campers are paired up for the bughouse tournament (a favorite amongst campers)!
We have a mix of other great options in the afternoon including art, music, and math. And campers compete for prizes all day!
Find out why so many chess players claim that camp is the best place to learn chess!
