We’re very happy to be back at the Elizabeth House in downtown Silver Spring for our Saturday morning Chess Kids class. The first session started on September 24 and two dozen children in kindergarten through grade 6 are participating. As always, the greatest priorities are encouraging the students to make new friends and improve their knowledge and skills together.

The Chess Kids program is stratified into six sessions of four weeks each. Registration for the second session, which starts on October 22, and the other subsequent sessions for the 2022-23 school year is still open.

We've just secured a new venue for an extra week of summer #chess day camp in Takoma Park, MD. We're sorry for the delay in announcing this week/venue but Montgomery County's Community Use of Public Facilities platform does not allow reserving space for the summer until May 1st. The camp will be August 7-11, 2023, at Piney Branch Elementary School and is for students rising into grades 2-7 (Beginners to Intermediate). Register for our Piney Branch Camp here: register.chessctr.org/a/pbes-summer-2023 Or see all our camp weeks/venues here: chessctr.org/summercamps/ Space is limited to 30 campers, so don't delay if you want to register your student.Our Summer Chess Day Camps consist of chess instruction and play, as well as recreational activities. Camp starts at 9:00am ET and ends at 3:00pm ET. Aftercare (until 5:00pm ET) is available for an added fee. Campers will need to bring/pack a bag lunch each day. Since 1992, we have been providing challenging instruction and making chess fun for students. Our nationally certified chess teachers are experienced with all levels of ability. Camp will be challenging and interesting for all and our focus is on improving chess skills through practice and lessons. The teachers place more emphasis on learning than on winning. Good sportsmanship is the key to having fun.Thousands of students have participated in our camps, with many enjoying camp so much that they return year after year and dozens continue to play at a master level. Our students have won more than a dozen national championships, hundreds have earned academic college scholarships, and more than 20 have become national masters. There will be about one teacher per ten students and enrollment is capped at 30 campers total for each week. ... See MoreSee Less
