Our training camps are fun, focused, and completely immersive. Each day includes dedicated time for structured lessons, puzzles, studies, game analysis, and USCF rated games. We include breaks for less strenuous (and more silly) activities.
All camps will be 100% in-person. Students will be grouped according to playing strength. Students receive puzzles and training materials suitable for their level.
