Summer 2015 at the CCSCSL offers three separate week-long camp sessions, each of them led by professional Grandmasters and certified staff members. Campers can expect to quickly learn the a basic foundations of chess, emphasizing on the fundamental skills needed for a lifetime of learning, through daily lessons, puzzles, organized events and regular free play. Grandmasters then provide expert instruction on these fundamental skills, covering more advanced ideas within chess, such as tactics, strategy, middle-game planning and endgame technique.
