Overview

Challenge a fellow camper, uncover a clever move, and put your skills to the test in a mini chess tournament! Your Move! Chess Camp brings ages 9–13 together for a morning of strategy, puzzles, and friendly competition on PCs using our own Coder’s Chess Club platform.

With instructor guidance and interactive lessons, campers explore opening strategies, learn to spot threats, and practice basic checkmates. Tactical puzzles invite them to compare possible moves and consider how an opponent might respond, giving them practice with planning and careful decision-making.

Campers put new ideas into action through games against one another before taking part in a friendly mini tournament. Each match offers opportunities to practice focus, learn from mistakes, and show good sportsmanship, with support to help players build confidence as they try new strategies. Knowing how the pieces move is helpful, and beginners are welcome. Platform access is provided during the camp session.
