About Our Camps

Since 2006, the U.S. Chess School has held multiple high-level youth chess camps per year, reaching nearly every top-ranked young chess player in the United States.

Our camps have trained players from a range of backgrounds, from experienced players ages 15 to 17 to much younger talents as young as 8 years old.

The U.S. Chess School is an invite-only program, open only to the nation's most promising young players.
