Kids Chess Camps
All Year Round!

"Diarmuid greatly enjoyed Easter Chess Camp. It was definitely the highlight of his holiday. He said he loved the way the day was organised, including puzzles, problem solving, skills and finishing the end of the day with a tournament. He also enjoyed interacting and playing with the other children, break time was great fun too." Maria, Kilkenny
