Pizza Scholastic Tournament
Classic scholastic tournament with a short time control, as most scholastic players have difficulty taking advantage of longer time controls, and cheese pizza to fuel them through the afternoon. It is all about the trophies; bring yours home this Saturday!
Saturday Morning Chess
Four rated chess games at a reasonable time control and a reasonable price. Pizza available to all participants before the second round. Parents of any student plays for free.
Saturday Quads
Rated chess for serious chess players. You are matched to the players at a similar skill level, not those vastly superior or inferior, insuring games that challenge you and help you improve. Pizza available to all participants before the second round. Parents of any student plays for free.

Chess Camp
Experience chess instruction from beginner play to the various phases of the game. Full day immersions into the world of chess for a single day or come every Monday and Friday for the entire summer.
Mondays and Fridays, June 12 – July 28, 9 AM to 4 PM
Each student will experience a mix of in person lead instruction, computer lead exercises, and games against fellow classmates in this five day class aimed at introducing students to various tactics, opening strategies, and common mistakes made in the game of chess. The class is intended for individuals who know how to play through beginning tournament players ages six through 12. Due to limited facilities, class is limited to 25 students.
The day is broken up with a lunch break and some individual time so that students are not overwhelmed with material or fatigued with any one type of content. Cheese pizza will be provided, but students must bring their own water refillable water bottles (we have a water fountain). Students will be provided with online access to a Chesskid account to be provided to the students for participating with other students and accessing other learning materials between classes.
