Typical Day
For AM and PM campers, the typical day consists of two classroom lessons lasting
an hour each, with an hour break in between for practice and snack. All-day
campers follow the same schedule, with an hour-long lunch break for lunch and
recess. Campers stay with the same teacher and group for the entire week. The
final day of camp is Graduation Day. The graduation events commence with a short
informational presentation and Q & A session. Then the campers will receive a
trophy, certificate of achievement, CD with games developed and software.
Camper Placement
Classroom size averages 10-12. Placement is based upon age.
Food
Snacks and juice will
be provided at the camp during snack time, however lunch is not. Campers are
required to bring a complete lunch of their own if attending all day.
Refrigeration of lunches will not be available. If your child has specific
allergies you will be given the opportunity to describe these allergies in the
forms emailed to you upon completion of registration. Since peanut allergies are
wide-spread, we attempt to purchase snacks that do not contain nut products.
However if your child has an extremely severe allergy of any kind, we recommend
that they bring their own snacks to camp.
Disciplinary Policy
We do not anticipate any
disciplinary problems during the camp, but we still must set standards. A Chess
Camp Code of Conduct is provided to set the standard. If a disciplinary problem
arises within the camp, the camper will receive one warning and a phone call
home to their parents. If a second disciplinary problem arises, that camper
could be expelled from the camp without any financial credit. If a camper’s
behavior becomes so severe or endangers other campers, immediate expulsion from
camp without phone calls, warnings, or financial credit may be necessary.
Instructors
Our instructors come from various backgrounds and locations. However they all
have one thing in common: they are all the best in their field and most teach as
full-time professionals.We continually search for the most talented and dynamic
children’s chess instructors across North America. We feel strongly enough about
our instructors’ abilities, that we fly them to each of our camps across the
U.S. from their home cities. For these reasons, our selection process for
instructors is highly competitive. In addition to in-person meetings,
interviews and classroom observations, we conduct thorough background checks to
ensure only the best instructors in the country are a part of our team. All of
our instructors share the ability to teach in an engaging, fun and exciting way.
We believe our team is most effective in inspiring children of all ages and
levels.We also believe the skills we are sharing are transferable to their daily
lives as well.
Cancellation/Change Policy
A full refund minus a $25 service fee is given if cancellation request is
received 30 days before camp. After this, refunds will not be given. If a child
is sick and is unable to attend the camp, a doctor’s note is required for a
refund minus service fee to be given. Switching sessions or camps is permitted
based on space available. There will be a $25 change fee accessed for any
change.
