Two weeks of chess camp will be offered this summer: July 13-17 and July 27-31. The camp schedule will be 9:00 am to 3:00 pm Monday through Friday. The camp is open to all K-12 students (All K-2 students should know the basics of piece movement). If not already USCF members, participants will receive a 1-yr membership as part of their registration.
The suggested donation for the camp is $150 ($30/day). There are sibling and multiple week discounts. No one will be turned away for financial reasons. If you can pay more to help cover the costs for others, your generosity is always appreciated. All profits will help support the Willamette High School Chess Club. More details about the camp including payment options will be sent out 2 weeks before the camp.

Friday will feature a USCF rated tournament so campers can show how much they have learned! Campers should provide their own lunch and water/snacks (note: during both camps, free breakfast and lunch are available at Willamette HS for those under 18).
The camp will be based in Room 10 at Willamette High School, 1801 Echo Hollow Rd, Eugene, OR 97402.
