Each year the NSCF produces several weeks of fun and educational summer chess camps for students of all abilities. These camps help prevent summer learning loss. More competitive chess players benefit from having a concentrated exposure to chess over a week, or several weeks. For 2023, we have 5 weeks of summer camp planned beginning July 24. There are full and half-day options. Click here for all the details.
Every summer the NSCF partners with Parks & Recreation Departments and other community organizations to incorporate chess into their summer programming. From Kindergarten to Middle School, one or more days a week, you can see from these photos, chess is a lot of fun. When there are going to be a lot of campers, training the camp staff to assist our instructors helps us keep the costs down and ensure no one who wants to learn is left out.
The National Scholastic Chess Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit educational organization. Donations are tax-deductible. Relevant IRS information is available on request.
