Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know.

Does my child need to know how to play chess? ▾
Not at all! We welcome complete beginners. On Day 1, each child is assessed and placed in a skill-appropriate group. Our beginner sessions start from the very basics — how pieces move, board setup, and simple tactics.
What should my child bring each day? ▾
A packed lunch and water bottle. Comfortable clothing. A positive attitude! All chess equipment, worksheets, and materials are provided. No need to bring your own chess set.
What is the supervision ratio? ▾
We maintain a maximum of 1 adult per 10 children throughout the camp. Our team of 7 includes a Lead Instructor, 4 Assistant Instructors, a Camp Coordinator, and a Safety Floater. First aid is always on site.
What is the cancellation and refund policy? ▾
Full refund for cancellations before June 30, 2026. A 50% refund is available for cancellations between July 1–7. No refund is available after July 7, as materials and staffing will have been committed.
What are the drop-off and pick-up rules? ▾
Drop-off begins at 8:45 AM. Pick-up is between 3:00–3:15 PM. A valid ID is required for anyone other than the registered guardian. Late pickups (after 3:30 PM) will incur a $10 fee per 15-minute interval.
Will there be an afterschool club after the summer? ▾
Yes! We plan to launch a weekly afterschool chess club starting September 2026. Boot camp participants get first access and priority enrollment. Subscribe to our newsletter to be notified when registration opens.
How do I pay after registering? ▾
After submitting the registration form, you'll receive an email within 24 hours with payment options including e-Transfer, PayPal, and credit card via a secure link. Your spot is held for 48 hours after the confirmation email.
Is the camp inclusive for kids with learning differences? ▾
Absolutely. We take a patient, inclusive approach. Please include any relevant information in the medical/notes field during registration, and our team will be in touch to discuss accommodations before the camp begins.
