Skill levels:
Beginner – Learning the basics. For students who are brand new to chess or have played a little bit, with no formal instruction. Older children (typically second grade or older), who pick up material quickly in beginner camp workshops may advance to the Intermediate level at the next available session.
Intermediate – For students who know the chess basics (call Todd for specific qualifications) or participated in a Beginner camp workshop. Younger children, first grade or younger, may benefit from taking the beginner camp workshop twice, before moving up to the Intermediate level. Advanced, young students, may move to the Intermediate camp workshop after taking the Beginner camp workshop only once. Check ability level with Todd.
Because chess is a very broad subject, different chess concepts and examples will be taught at Intermediate camp workshops so that students may attend different Intermediate camp workshops and still receive maximum benefit and continuing chess instruction without duplication.
Intermediate/Advanced – This special camp workshop is for rated players and typically older players who excel in their Intermediate camp workshop groups.
Call 303-770-6696 (wk) for information and registration form. Space is limited in each camp workshop.
