July 12th
The annual Rochester Chess Center Picnic will be held at Mendon Ponds Park, East Lodge on Wednesday, July 12th. Though we hope everyone attends the picnic, we will also still have the regular Community Chess Club games (G/80 d5) at 7:30pm at the Chess Center on Wednesday evening. Many folks choose to go to the picnic for a while in the afternoon, and then go to the chess center in the evening for a rated game at 7:30pm. Try to do both, or at least the picnic! It's is great to see everyone and enjoy the fresh air.Picnic Directions & Details: Go South on Clover Street, cross Thruway, enter the park (turn left) at the first entrance, East Lodge is 1/2 mile on the left. Lodge is open at 1:00 pm. Fires will be stoked up at 5:30 pm. Rain or shine, the lodge will be fine. The Rochester Chess Center will also provide the chess sets, soft drinks, plates, plastic ware, charcoal and condiments. Chess sets will also be provided for unrated chess games. You bring your own food to grill and any sports equipment. This is a communal event, so please bring a dish to share: Last name A to M please bring a salad to pass, N to Z please bring a dessert to pass. Everyone is welcome, $5 per person... $15 max per family. Picnic is free to Rochester Chess Center members and their families.
Chess Camp is available to students age 5-13 years. All skill levels from beginner to advanced are encouraged to attend. Beginners who arrive without any knowledge of the game will become proficient players from their camp experience; advanced players benefit from sharing classes and experience with some of the top scholastic players in the USA.
Because this is our 26th year of offering camps, our counselors are among the most experienced chess teachers found anywhere. We coordinate daily activities and instruction to expand the student's chess skills. Chess is known to teach logic, problem solving, analysis techniques, and will improve study habits. These skills have obvious carry-over benefits to schooling and career. But, the main reason kids come back to our chess camps year after year is because...
WE HAVE FUN!
