My daughter is 7 years old and she thoroughly enjoyed her 5 day camp at Chess at three. She can now complete a game with friends independently and will no doubt be challenging her older siblings very soon! Most importantly she loves the game and can't wait to get her own chess set.
Paul Lee
My son had such a great time at the Birchguard Quest camp that he wants to join the weekly sessions! Highly recommend!
