Holiday Camps

Richmond Junior Chess Club runs an annual Easter Camp and an annual Summer Camp. These are among the most fun activities in our entire calendar.

Easter Camp 2024

Our Easter Camp will be held at Orleans Park School on the following dates:

  • Monday 8th April to Thursday 11th April

We have classes for Beginners, Intermediate and Advanced students, with a capacity for about 40 students.

Parents can arrange drop off from 09:00 to 10:00, then we classes divided by ability from 10:00 to 12:30, then a break for lunch from 12:30 to 14:00. Then we have rated tournaments games and analysis from 14:00 to 16:00. Parents can then arrange pick-up to 17:00 at the latest.

This year we will not be supplying lunches as part of the programme, due to increased costs. Parents can supply their children with packed lunches, but there are some rules with that, the most important of which is no nuts. We can also supply lunches, but on the basis that we charge the costs back to the parents, with parents agreeing a budget with us beforehand.

Please use the Easter Camp Registration Form to register your children, book the sessions they will attend and make payment.
