DMV Chess Online Summer Camps

Every week in the summer!

Online Via Zoom

DMV Chess online camps are back for the summer of 2024! We’re proud to have taught over 500 kids in our online camps.

Our camps are held via Zoom and lichess.org. Camps are open to all students of all skill levels in grades K through 8 as of the 2023-2024 academic calendar. Students from anywhere in the world can participate. We’ll do the best we can to make sure each camp group is large enough for campers to have a fun social experience but still small enough that each student gets personal attention from the instructor. All our camps feature USCF-online-rated games, so please make sure your child is a member of the US Chess Federation (we can help you sign up).

WHO CAN PARTICIPATE?

Our camps are suitable for all levels, from novice to advanced. We do not have a separate registration page for advanced camps this summer like we did last summer. Instead, we will divide students into groups based on rating whenever possible. Our camps all have Expert and Master instructors, so there will be plenty of advanced material covered for our higher rated students! We already have a lot of higher rated kids signed up.

PRICING

Each camp costs $250, but there is a sibling discount of $50/child.

If your child cannot attend the full camp, we may be able to offer half-day schedules or single-day options at a reduced price, depending on how much space is available. To sign up for alternative scheduling options, please email us at camps@dmvchess.com.

ALTERNATIVE SCHEDULES

We understand that some participants have other plans and are unable to attend camp for the full five days from 11 ET to 5 ET. Here are the other schedules we offer.
