Winter Break Chess Camp !!!!!
at the Rochester Chess Center
Because this is the 27th year of offering camps, our Rochester chess center counselors are among the most experienced chess teachers found anywhere. Counselors coordinate daily activities and instruction to expand the students' chess skills. Chess is known to teach logic, problem solving, analysis techniques, and will improve study habits. These skills will carry over to school and career.
Camps are available to kids age 5-13 years. All skill levels from beginner to advanced are encouraged to come. Beginners who arrive without any knowledge of the game will become proficient players from their camp experience; advanced players will benefit from sharing classes and experiences with some of the top youth players in the US. Rochester Chess Center is adjacent to Cobbs Hill Park, where the daily outings are held. Seasonal activities, like frisbee, soccer and hiking are planned so come dressed for the action! We allow for early drop off (after 8:00am) and/or late pick up (until 5:30pm) at no extra cost. The main reason kids come back is... We have Fun!
