About Chess Camp
This is about how Chess Camp started and its journey to get here (We really appreciate all the support we have been given and those that have come to chess camp over the last two years Thank You) Chess Camp started in an unfinished basement with a projector, some chess boards and four determined directors. Chess Camp 2023 wasn't as good as we hoped we only had about 13 kids attend all week but we had a blast. For me and Noah it isn't just our goal to make money and get a lot of people to come (though those things do come) but to have a good time and teach the kids who do come. After that year it was back to the drawing board for 2024. There was a point on a call me and Noah had where we just sat thinking for about 20 minutes and then the ideas started to come. We had two ideas to make Chess Camp better one was to make a Chess Month so people can come without having any summer plans. This idea was a complete failure nobody signed up and we lost hope. The second idea though was Chess Camp Ultimate which at the time we thought we could get done in time but we didn't and had to make it work for the next year (2025). So we made some changes and it ended up that around 20 kids came much better than the year before. Then 2025 came around the corner and we have made the website you are on now much better plus putting so much more effort into it. Ultimate Chess Camp is also done. We hope to see you at Chess Camp this year. This story really shows you how you can provail through the challenges you face. Directors: Dylan, Noah, Leah, and Hudson
