Typical Day
For AM and PM participants, the typical day consists of two classroom lessons lasting
an hour each, with an hour break in between for practice and snack. All-day
attendees follow the same schedule, with an hour-long lunch break for lunch and
recess. Attendees stay with the
same teacher and group for the entire week. The final day of the program is Graduation
Day. The graduation events commence with a short informational presentation and
Q & A session. Then the attendees will receive a trophy, certificate of
achievement, CD with games developed and software.
Attendee Placement
Classroom size averages 10-12. Placement is based upon age.
Food
Snacks and juice will
be provided at the program during snack time, however lunch is not. Attendees are
required to bring a complete lunch of their own if attending all day.
Refrigeration of lunches will not be available. If your child has specific
allergies you will be given the opportunity to describe these allergies in the
forms emailed to you upon completion of registration. Since peanut allergies are
wide-spread, we attempt to purchase snacks that do not contain nut products.
However if your child has an extremely severe allergy of any kind, we recommend
that they bring their own snacks to camp.
Disciplinary Policy
We do not anticipate any
disciplinary problems during the program, but we still must set standards. A Chess
Program Code of Conduct is provided to set the standard. If a disciplinary problem
arises within the sessions, the attendee will receive one warning and a phone call
home to their parents. If a second disciplinary problem arises, that attendee
could be expelled from the program without any financial credit. If an
attendee's
behavior becomes so severe or endangers other participants, immediate expulsion from
the program without phone calls, warnings, or financial credit may be necessary.
Instructors
Our instructors come from various backgrounds and locations. However they all
have one thing in common: they are all the best in their field and most teach as
full-time professionals. We continually search for the most
talented and dynamic children’s chess instructors across North America. We feel
strongly enough about our instructors’ abilities, that we fly them to each of
our camps across the U.S. from their home cities. For these reasons, our
selection process for instructors is highly competitive. In addition to
in-person meetings, interviews and classroom observations, we conduct thorough
background checks to ensure only the best instructors in the country are a part
of our team. All of our instructors share the ability to teach in an
engaging, fun and exciting way. We believe our team is most effective in
inspiring children of all ages and levels. We also believe the skills
we are sharing are transferable to their daily lives as well.
Cancellation/Change Policy
A full refund minus a $25 service fee is given if cancellation request is
received 30 days before camp. After this, refunds will not be given. If a child
is sick and is unable to attend the session, a doctor’s note is required for a
refund minus service fee to be given. Switching sessions or programs is permitted
based on space available. There will be a $25 change fee accessed for any
change.
