Hello, Chess for Children kids!, Welcome to Neots’s Monthly Scholastic Chess Calendar. It is very informative and will help you and your parents decide on the very best chess events for you.  

 July 7th 2020 

Hi All,
One correction (*not* my bad this time 🙂 and one addition — Please check below. 
Camp # 11 registration link has changed.
Camp #13 is a new online camp that was added.
Best,
Neot

July 2nd  

Hi again,

Sorry for the yet additional email but it’s my bad, I forgot to include a camp (#11) coached by Hans N. that was emailed to me in time for the July 1st revision.
 Also note that I added another out of town online camp  (#12). I picked into one of the sessions – it’s certainly worth checking out !   
–  Next revision (if needed) is on July 15th.

July 1st Update
Hi All.
Below is the list of summer chess camps so far
[Although the list below  offers great (!) camps selection, note that I’m only posting camps of coaches that reached out to me. I didn’t actively looked around for camps – that is there are others that are not listed here]
If I get more emails, I’ll be sending another update on July 15th

Happy 4th, and stay safe!
Best,
Neot
