This camp is designed to build the following character traits:

Self-regulation: Chess is a game of discipline, perspective, patience and problem solving. Our lessons start with the etiquette of the game. It is an important foundation and must be respected. Campers must learn to take turns, not to fidget, not to touch their pieces at inappropriate times, etc. Self control is key
Interpersonal skills: Campers must respect each other. Good sportsmanship is a mandatory part of this. Watching each other play and explaining and communicating what the motivations are for making different moves brings a togetherness to a group. It feels more like a team practising than competition amongst campers.

Join the Ultimate Intro to Chess Camp for Youth!

Dive into the captivating world of chess at our Intro to Chess Camp, specially designed for kids aged 5-7, 8-10 & 11-13. Camps are offered to different age groups to ensure the correct level of instruction & activity, supervision, to keep campers as comfortable as possible and to determine the number of counselors needed.

Each day, young minds will explore the foundations of chess, learning the basics and beyond through fun and interactive lessons. That's not all—our campers also enjoy a balanced array of activities including bonus arcade time, indoor and outdoor physical exercises and games, creative arts ‘n’ crafts, engaging scavenger hunts, board games, free play and VR Chess experiences! Plus, there is a great trip to High Park to check out the zoo, awesome playgrounds and do a nature walk. There are other chess lessons and camps out there, but not like this one.

We have lots of fun in this camp, but we are keen on teaching youth to play chess by the end of the week. At least the basics.
