This weekβs chess camp was a huge success! πβοΈ
We had 25 amazing kids participate, and it was incredible to see their improvement over the week. In addition to learning key chess concepts, they developed important life skills like sportsmanship, focus, and teamwork.
Iβm so proud of the hard work and enthusiasm this group brought each day!
A huge thank-you to our incredible volunteers: Logan Priest, Xavier Ogle, Kayla Chastain, Yuvraj Prajapati, Noah Brown, and Aarush Verma β the camp couldnβt have run smoothly without you!
Special thanks to our sponsors β Reid Health, Optivision 2020, and Ivy Tech β for making it possible to provide snacks, t-shirts, awards, and a chess set for every player. Also, Thank you to First English Lutheran Church for allowing us to use their space.
Thank you to everyone who has supported our mission to grow chess in our community and use it as a tool to build up the next generation of thinkers and leaders! Stay tuned for details regarding future youth chess events!
