Summer Camp 2012 & Congrats to Logan Wu
Don't forget about our summer camp this year, which will go on for eleven weeks of chess improvement and fun with other kids. 8:00 - 3:00 every day (aftercare available until 6:00) for the low price of only $100 per week. Sibling discounts available.
Also, congratulations are in order for first grader Logan Wu, who went to the National Championships in Nashville this past weekend and finished as co-champion of the K-1 section with a perfect score of 7-0.
Tournament of Champions: Saturday, April 28th
Every year, the highest-scoring players in the local MS Chess Grand Prix events all play in one tournament called the Tournament of Champions. This has been great fun every year, and if your child qualified, we strongly recommend that you attend. No rounds will be easy, even for the highest-rated players, so it is a day of good chess.
April 21-22 Camp
We would like to thank GM Damian Lemos for coming out to be our guest teacher at our camp for the weekend of April 21-22. The simul on April 20th was also a lot of fun, even though it was a massacre. Those of you who did not attend missed out!
Upcoming Events
May 21-August 3: GMCC Summer Camp -- Summer camp every day from 8:00 - 3:00, eleven weeks minus one holiday (July 4th). Full attendance not required. Timing flexible. Aftercare available until 6:00 every day. More information at the Summer Camp page.
