With a combination of lecture, question/answer, and hands-on techniques, the instructor(s) will cover: Tactics, Strategy, Openings, Middlegames, Endgames, and Problems.

    Who can join?:
    School-age children, K to 12, interested in getting better at chess from motivated beginner to intermediate.

    How much does it cost?:
    Each camp is $75 for Boylston Chess Club members. Non-members who have never been members before will need to pay to join the club for one year in which case the camp fee is waived. (Parents with more than one child in the camp can get a discount—only $50 per child.)

    BCC Junior Membership - $100
    BCC Family Membership - $125

    Reserve your place in one or more camps by contacting Dave Vigorito, President of the Boylston Chess Foundation, at boylstonchess@aol.com.
