Beginner Crash Course Camp

This 5-day camp is designed for absolute beginners. We focus on one thing: making sure every child understands how to play chess—piece by piece, rule by rule.

Students will learn:

  • How each piece moves and captures
  • Special rules like castling, promotion, and en passant
  • How to set up the board and take turns
  • What check, checkmate, and stalemate mean

It’s fast-paced, hands-on, and packed with guided games to reinforce the basics through play. We make the experience fun, light, and interactive—helping kids build confidence without the pressure of getting everything perfect.

Who is this for?

  • This is for anyone who wants to pick up chess — fast.
  • There are no age restrictions.
  • Perfect for complete beginners or anyone looking to brush up on their fundamentals.
  • For aspiring players with no formal chess background.
