Item Description
Drinks, snacks and lunch will be provided! Students are welcome to bring their own snacks and lunch. The goal of the camp is to foster an environment of learning and fun, so that students are happy before and after the day.
During breaks, students can watch movies, play video games, play more chess/bughouse, or do physical exercises in the gym. For very motivated students, the breaks are a tremendous opportunity for gaining specialized instruction from a teacher.
While the format of each camp day is the same, the content and form of the lessons varies day-to-day. There is always a warm-up session and the “tournament-style” session, but the other sessions can take different forms, for example:
- Puzzle solving (various forms of tactics; endgames; studies; etc.)
- Multimedia lesson with projector
- Lesson on demonstration board
- Analysis session
NYChess Kids takes into account the needs of the groups when designing lesson plans. NYChessKids has a large reservior of staff resources, and instructors can change on a daily basis.
