I cannot describe how excited my son was after attending the chess camp. He couldn't stop talking about all the different tactics he learned all the way home. As if I understood anything that he was saying….”

Later after attending camp and subsequently defeating the top board player at his school he said …. “Wow, chess camp must have really helped.”

My son really enjoyed the camp, he didn't want to go to bed last night because he was working on chess problems! Guess three straight days wasn't enough....“
