For 2024 we are offering 3 in-person Summer Chess Experience Camps for students entering grades 5-12 at Whitney Young Magnet High School. Students need to have previous chess experience and must have participated in their school’s Academic Chess and/or Cops & Kids Chess programs.
This year, we are implementing a selection process to determine a student’s level of chess engagement and participation. Please note these camps are not for students with no prior chess experience.
