Description
In chess camp, campers play and learn chess with Magnus Academy (formerly Silver Knights). They have taught 100,000 children, including national champions, but most students are beginners looking to learn and have fun! Campers are broken up by skill level. Activities include learning the rules, openings, tactics, endgames, studying master games and playing tons of games. Campers will take breaks for snacks, fresh air and to have lunch. At the end of the week, they will receive a t-shirt and chess set.Instructor: Magnus Chess Academy.
