2015 Summer Camp - June 1-5, 2015

Chess Summer Camps are the perfect way to introduce the game of chess to new students, deepen the understanding of the game for established players or offer intensive instruction for aspiring chess masters.

 

Online Registration is closed. Please contact the chess club directly by calling (314) 361-2437 to register.

 

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.

Also this year, each CCSCSL Chess Summer Camp offers the option for an Intermediate section, designed for aspiring chess masters with an emphasis on study and preparation toward tournament play.
