Where: Eastminster Presbyterian Church, 3229 MacDonald Road, Virginia Beach
Who: Students in Grades K-12 (ages 5-17)
What: Multi-Level Chess Camp
Absolute Beginners: Daily from 9 AM to 3 PM – Learn to play chess from scratch
using the ChessKid curriculum and taught by a team of experienced coaches.
Enjoy instruction, supervised practice, playing with our giant chess board, chess
crafts and activities, and some breaks for recess, lunch, and snacks (bring your
own). Cost is $200, and no staff will be paid, so you may write the camp off as a
contribution to our 501(c)(3). EIN will be provided.
Experienced players of all ages and abilities: Daily from 9 AM to Noon. Featured
instructors are FIDE Master James Schuyler (rating 2400) and National Master
Justin Lohr (rating 2200). Instruction and supervised practice. Cost is $175.
Full-day extension is available for $25 for parents who need it. Your child can
pack a lunch and stay until 3 PM playing casual chess with their camp friends
and/or helping with the Beginner camp. No further instruction offered in the
afternoon – this is essentially a daycare add-on.
Why: Chess is proven to help kids with life skills such as focus, impulse control,
planning ahead and thinking about consequences, etc. It is also proven through
numerous research studies to help kids do better in school.
