The camp offers a unique combination of structured math enrichment and expert-led chess instruction in small groups, fostering both academic confidence and strategic thinking.
The Virginia Commonwealth Chess Kids - Math & Chess Summer Camp, offered by Lasker Academy, provides small-group enrichment programs designed to develop strategy, problem-solving, and academic confidence for students. The morning Math Academy focuses on reinforcing math foundations and previewing upcoming grade-level concepts through interactive problem-solving. The afternoon Chess Class helps students master strategic thinking and tactical patterns through matches, clinics, and tournament-style play, with students grouped by skill level. The full-day Summer Academy combines both programs, including a supervised lunch period. The camp aims to build confidence, strengthen mathematical thinking, and prepare students for success in Pre-Algebra, Algebra 1, and beyond. The curriculum emphasizes logical principles to solve complex problems and fosters independent problem-solving skills.
A typical day for a full-day student includes a morning Math Academy session, a supervised lunch period, and an afternoon Chess Class, running from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM.
This camp is best for K-12 students who want to reinforce math foundations, preview upcoming grade-level concepts, and master strategic thinking through chess.
