GM Summer Camp
For players rated above 1600, we offer a GM Camp featuring intensive instruction:
- 6 weeks with GM Alexander Stripunsky
- 2 weeks with GM Elshan Moradiabadi
Unlike our Day Camp, the GM Camp offers high-level, all-day chess instruction led entirely by Grandmasters.
We welcome players from around the globe! Overnight accommodations are available for non-local campers, including fun evening activities such as pickleball, ping pong, bowling, golf, and more, followed by dinner and rest at the hotel.
