Beyond the Queen’s Gambit Half Day Chess Camp Grades 1-12 (2025-2026)
Did you know that playing chess can help strengthen a student’s memory, increases a child’s decision making skills, and help instill an understanding of actions and consequences? Kids who play chess regularly see increases in math skills as well as reading comprehension. Plus – it’s fun – kids love it! Pat has been teaching chess for over 26 years, including more than 18 in Waconia. Chess camp will consist of lectures/lessons, chess puzzles, practice games, tournament games, blitz chess (speed chess), chess variations and a look at chess history. Campers will learn basic tactics, strategies and concepts. Chess sets and other materials will be provided. There will also be time for some physical activity as well. Camp will conclude with a tournament and the awarding of trophies and medals.
