About Chess NYC Fun & Training Camps:
Manhattan - Brooklyn - Hamptons
Chess NYC's policy of "Chess Should be Fun" truly prevails for these cool days of camp! From Chess Leaders to Grand Master, this Camp is sure to captivate, motivate and generate chess players. Each child will receive as much chess time as they like while enjoying mind clearing fun, cooling and break opportunities.
Overflowing with supervision, special attention to those with greater commitment levels to Chess, as well as those who need an extra boost are a few of the advantages of this (Chess) Fun! That and great play send Campers home well rounded, effective Chess Players. While 3 hours of Chess activities are threaded through each full 8 hour day for every Camper, led by Chess NYC's Championship Coaching Staff (Nationals Champions) that's just the beginning of these great Fun & Training Camps! Outdoor fun, water play, sports and other activities thrill (coax where necessary) and prepare attendees for the next upcoming Chess activities.
While Chess is always available (and of course encouraged) and our extreme young, chess enthusiasts play and learn even more (some of our kids are very, very advanced) the alternative, FUN activities, Pizza and Ice Cream etc. ensures they'll ALL keep coming back! From absolute beginners to advanced players, Chess NYC's philosophy is to engage each child on their individual level and appetite to play. This approach successfully minimizes resistance and maximizes progress and...as a result...everyone associates Chess with Fun! At the end of a great day they've had @ least 3 hours of Chess!...a week 15 hours...A month 60 hours! Our talented, excited and eager team is ready to share the love of the game every moment possible and they love doing so!
