You can enrol your son or daughter just for the mornings / just for the afternoons /or for full-days (AM & PM) or for a mixture of half-days and full-days throughout the week. New ideas and material are covered in each session so there is no repetition in morning and afternoon sessions.

Experienced Beginners Kids Camps are aimed at experienced beginners who have been playing chess for a time already in either school or at home and who have mastered the fundamentals of chess such as how the pieces move, concepts such as castling, en passant, how to deliver checkmate etc. These camps are not suitable for complete beginners who should enroll instead in a Complete Beginner Summer Camp. This course is for players rated from Unrated up to 1000 Elo and focusses on dangerous attacking ideas and key defensive techniques that every player needs to know to get to the next level (1000 Elo plus and beyond!)

Classes are conducted through zoom. each student who enrols on a course is given their own personalised account in the Chess Bud Training Portal. During the camp, students will use the portal to take part in daily class tournaments, participate in training simuls against Mark, solve quizzes and be able to review opening and endgame content covered during the Summer Camp. Kids can also play friendly games against each other in the portal outside of class times. Mark will keep their accounts active in the portal for 3 weeks from the time they enrol, so kids use the portal to play each other, compete in Chess Bud Tournaments and review annotated databases. For as long their accounts are active, kids can also participate in the weekly Chess Bud themed opening tournaments which take place on Monday evenings throughout the summer.
