Can Your Child Beat the Coach? ♟️🏆

This Spring Break, we’re hosting our brand-new Beat the Coach Camp. It's a week of structured lessons, tournament play, daily competition, and a unique challenge for all attendees.

The challenge?
Campers get Knight odds and try to take down the coach to win an official Beat the Coach Trophy.

⏰ 9AM–4PM
👥 Limited to 24 players

Did you know? Chess helps improve focus in kids by rewarding their long-term planning. A quick move with little thought can often be a blunder and lead to regret, while patient decision-making is more often rewarded with victory!
