Join us this Spring Break for an exciting week at the ICA Scholastic Spring Day Camp!
Our Spring Camp program offers kids ages 6-16 the opportunity to grow intellectually within a collaborative and fun environment at our Glen Rock and Teaneck locations in New Jersey. With a 6:1 ratio of campers to counselors designed to maximize personal attention, students are well engaged in classes, learning chess tactics and enhancing their critical thinking skills!
Campers are assigned to an experienced coach for morning lessons where they analyze games, discover new strategies and solve puzzles with friends. These small groups are determined by skill level and age so campers can learn in a social and educational environment best-suited for them. Students of all chess abilities, from beginner to advanced, are encouraged and welcome!
Campers have outdoor fun and exercise every day, warming up in the morning with a camp classic dodgeball parody "Circle of Doom" and playing dodgeball, soccer, or on the playground before lunch.
Lunchtime at ICA (campers must bring their own lunches) is replete with great food and conversations, followed by the daily tournament. Campers apply strategies taught in class and compete against each other for weekly awards. Tournament games are then analyzed during morning lessons so students can improve by learning from their mistakes. After the tournament, campers often have the opportunity to play against their coaches in simul exhibitions (one coach takes on any and all challengers).
On Fridays, campers are paired up for the weekly bughouse tournament (a special chess variant that incorporates teamwork and new rules into the traditional game)!
After a long, fun day of chess and sports, we offer a variety of other creative and educational activities in the afternoon, including art, music, and math
