Whether you are a tournament-hardened chess veteran wanting to sharpen your skills or an interested beginner simply wanting to learn the rules, Delphi's week-long chess camp will be both challenging and a lot of fun. This camp is available to students enrolled in our 4 or 6-week programs and replaces afternoon activities on the dates above.

You'll get to do chess puzzles and learn tactics, strategies and the best ways to begin each game. You can study and practice good ways to attack as white and defend as black. Last but not least will be practice at how to end the game in your favor.

Chess camp is divided into two groups: Elementary and Middle School students are in one group; Upper School students are in the other. Each group meets for two and a half hours a day for four days. The camp ends with the Delphi Invitational Chess Tournament.
