What People Say

"No complaints here. My daughter had a great day. It's a full day camp and they do get a full day of chess. I think they do a great job of lunch break and mini play breaks to keep them interested. There were all levels and as a beginner my daughter was made to feel comfortable and had other beginners to play with. I would definitely sign her up again. She cannot wait to go back. Your child should be interested in chess to spend the whole day. They do offer a half day as well which might be more appropriate for those kids who may need to run around a bit more."

— Lissa T. (KidPass Review)

“My child came out of chess camp this afternoon asking if he could come home and "play chess for the rest of the day"! He said it was a lot of fun and asked if he could go tomorrow! (Had to break the news that tomorrow is a weekend) Highly recommend."
