As a Grandmaster who has lived, coached, and competed in the U.S., I’ve seen firsthand how powerful chess can be for young minds. If you’re looking for a meaningful way to engage your child this summer—especially if they’re just getting started—Chess Gaja’s Summer Camp 2025 is a perfect fit. We’ve designed this camp to help children learn chess in a structured, supportive, and fun environment—no prior experience needed.

Why Chess, Why Now?

Chess builds focus, patience, critical thinking, and resilience—qualities that help kids excel in school and life. Our camp introduces these lessons in a way that’s interactive and age-appropriate, so your child learns through doing, not just watching.
And because the camp is online, they can join from the comfort of home, wherever you are in the U.S.


Who Is This Camp For?

We offer two beginner-friendly tracks:

Absolute Beginner

  • Perfect for children new to chess.
  • Learn the rules, how pieces move, basic checkmates, and simple tactics.

Beginner

  • Ideal for those who already know how to play.
  • We’ll build on core principles, tactical patterns, and simple strategy.
