Parent Comments About The Brooklyn Chess Summer Program:
Coach Christian's chess camp has been the greatest camp we've done in NYC ever!
Our son was completely engaged in chess and picked up not only the Joy of the game, but also complex strategy and concepts. He does a great job of mixing in outdoor time as well to keep it fresh in the summer.
I also really appreciate Coach's super clear communication with us as parents and his transparency. He also brings a super positive attitude which rubs off on the kids in a great way
Josh H.
My interactions with Coach Christian and his team have always been super positive. They take a vested interest in seeing the kids learn and grow daily. They are responsive, proactively communicating and caring. It's evident that chess is a vocation and they share that love with such joy and patience.
My kids love the structure of the program. They retain the information taught during lessons and enjoy sharing the learned strategies with us in the evenings. The outdoor breaks in the camp schedule also give them an opportunity for brain breaks and movement as well as bonding time with the coaches.
I'd recommend this program as a safe, fun and effective way to introduce your children to chess as well as develop them into stronger players with a great foundation for the game.
Cindy B.
We loved Coach Christian's summer camp for our 6 year old son. Our son's spark of interest in Chess turned into a full blown passion as a product of finding more confidence, fun, strategy and excitement in the game at this camp.
Coach Christian sets up a day that is engaging, educational and still active with great outdoor time at the nearby park and sports fields.
I knew my son was spending his day learning and enjoying his summer in a safe and nurturing environment!
I couldn't recommend this camp more highly and am thrilled to have our son return next summer and throughout the school year as camps are offered.

If you do not receive a confirmation email soon after registration, it likely means that there was a transaction error, and you are not registered. Please send an email to askcoachchristian@gmail.com describing the issue as best you can. Our staff will research the issue and contact you with the next steps.
REQUIREMENT TO DISCLOSE SPECIAL NEEDS OR BEHAVIORAL ISSUES:
Prior to or at the time of registration, parents/guardians are responsible for notifying us of an officially diagnosed special need. Additionally, we must be informed if your child has been asked to leave another camp or summer program and/or if your child has had disruptive behavior during their time in any other program. If your child has an aide during school, they will need one during camp.
DISMISSAL FROM THE CHESS SUMMER PROGRAM:
If a child exhibits behavioral problems that preclude other participants or themself from participating safely in a group, staff may dismiss the child from continued participation in the chess summer program. Parents/Guardians will be contacted and asked to pick up the child as soon as possible. If a participant is dismissed for behavioral reasons, no refund will be issued. The Brooklyn Chess Summer Program has a zero tolerance policy for children who engage in violent behavior and are resistant to following adult instruction.
LICE/NIT POLICY:
If we discover your child has nits or lice while they are at camp, staff will contact you to come to pick up your child as soon as possible. Students must be nit-free before returning to the summer program.
MEDICATIONS:
Our staff is unable to give regularly scheduled daily medications, so please administer those to your child before or after camp, or come by during the day if necessary. Medicine, prescription, or over-the-counter (OTC), on an “as needed” basis must be brought to camp in original packaging and given to the camp instructor(s) along with completed forms authorizing our staff to administer the medications. Relevant forms for prescription or OTC medications may be found on the summer camp website under the “Optional Forms” heading.

You must also add information about these medications to your child’s emergency contact/medical information form. If there are any changes after submission, e-mail our office with updates at least one week before your child attends the chess summer program.
24-HOUR FEVER-FREE:
Your child must be fever-free for 24 hours before they can participate in chess summer program activities. If your child develops a fever while at the chess summer program, we will contact you and ask you to pick up your child as soon as possible.

Please arrive on time to pick up your child each day. Pick-Ups more than fifteen (15) minutes after the scheduled end time for a particular session are considered LATE PICK-UPS. All late pick-ups will be charged a $25 fee. An additional $10 fee will be charged for each 15-minute block of time thereafter until your child has been picked up from campus. On-site staff does not have the authority to waive any fees.
SIGNING IN AND OUT REQUIRED:
We require that parents/guardians sign their children into and out of the chess summer program daily with signatures and time. These records are used to monitor attendance and calculate any fees for late pick-up, so please make sure to enter information correctly and clearly. At pick-up time, staff will release participants only to someone listed on your authorized pick-up list.
