These chess camps invite young chess players who already have a complete understanding of the rules of chess to come and develop their abilities. With a combination of lecture, question/answer, and hands-on techniques, the instructor(s) will cover:

Students will develop their memory, critical thinking skills, sense of fairness, attention span, and have fun in the process.

Who can join?:

School-age children, K to 12, interested in getting better at chess from motivated beginner to intermediate.

How much does it cost?:

Each camp is $75 for Boylston Chess Club members. Non-members who have never been members before will need to pay to join the club for one year in which case the camp fee is waived. (Parents with more than one child in the camp can get a discount—only $50 per child.)

If you would like to participate in a camp, just show up the first day of the camp after 8:30 a.m. No reservation is necessary. For more information, call Paul MacIntyre at (781) 322-7936 or send an e-mail to boylstonchess@gmail.com.
