Guarantee your child’s success by enrolling them in the intellectually stimulating camps at Vancouver Chess School.
The game of chess is on the rise with a younger demographic who values the precision, skill, and strategy involved in the game. It seems like everywhere you turn, kids are playing chess at the playground, in their classrooms, and at recess and lunchtime. This, of course, delights parents as there are so many skills learned through chess that are transferable to other classes and in life: mathematical representations, problem-solving, formal logic, adaptability, cognitive stamina, and focused on staying engaged through the entirety of the game.
If your child loves playing Chess or has just started to show an interest in learning, then enroll them in Winter camps at Vancouver Chess School.
