June , July 2022

Our online summer camps are full of learning and fun. We ensure that your child’s time is well spent during the summertime with excellent knowledge at the most competitive rates possible. The online camp lessons are conducted on Zoom, so your child can learn from the comfort and safety of your home. Our coaches are highly experienced FIDE-rated players with several years of teaching experience.

Key Features:

Group Chess lessons with very small class sizes (only 5 to 6 students per group) to ensure personal attention and progress
Enrollment open to all students from Grades K-12
Live lessons on Zoom with highly experienced FIDE rated coaches
One Practice tournament of 2 hours is included in the session cost.
Upon completion of the session, the student moves up to the next level. A fantastic way to accelerate to the next level!
Very reasonable fees: $150 for 12 lessons of 1.5 hour each ($8.5/hour) + $10 Registration + Online Credit Credit/ PayPal payment fees.

Program Structure:

We have 2 Summer Camps for 2022. Each camp is for 4 weeks and each week will have 3 lessons.
You can choose from Monday, Wednesday, and Friday OR Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday options.
Camp 1: June 8 to July 8; Camp 2: July 16 to Aug 12
The session consists of 12 lessons of 1.5 hours each, that’s a total of 18 hours of learning
The curriculum is taught level-wise, so the student will move to the next level after completing a level. For example, if you meet the Beginner Level course this semester, then you will enroll in the Beginner – Intermediate level course for the next semester. Further information on the course levels can be found here: https://www.thinkchess.us/curriculum
We have groups specifically for Beginners – 5 and 6 years of age so that we can offer them the best experience by teaching at their pace.
We may invite students enrolling in the ThinkChess program for the first time to a Free Level Assessment session to ensure that they are placed in the correct group.
Please note: ALL lesson times are in CST .
Since these are group lessons, we have 5 to 6 students per group. It’s vital to ensure that all students in a group are of the same or similar chess level. Hence, we may offer you to choose a suitable slot as per your child’s chess level and age.

There will be no refunds or make-ups for any classes missed by students, so it is important that your child attends all lessons in the session. If your child is sick, the homework will be provided at the coach’s discretion. There will be make-ups for any lessons cancelled by ThinkChess.
STUDENT BEHAVIOR CONTRACT
I ensure that my child will behave respectfully and appropriately with the Staff, Coaches and other students at all times. 
Digital Learning Agreement:
This Agreement is between ThinkChess, the students participating in this Program, and the parents or guardians of those students. Our program utilizes a variety of online resources, including Zoom, YouTube, and other tools and programs that require students to log in. This agreement serves as a resource to help students maintain safety and privacy while interacting in online environments such as these. It is important that both the student and the parent or guardian carefully read and understand this agreement.
I will protect my identity in all online environments. This includes not sharing your email address, home address, phone number, full name, birthdate, location, school name, or any other information that might pose a privacy or security risk.
I will protect the security of my fellow classmates, instructor, and ThinkChess information by not sharing information in our online community with others. It is important that ThinkChess online communities are a safe and welcoming space to share ideas and learn. Therefore, it is very important that you don’t share the course content, participant information, or participant work with anyone other than your parents.
I will manage my own passwords. It is crucial that you develop a secure password for all sites, and that you never share that password. You are responsible for managing all passwords you create.
I will be responsible for maintaining or deleting my accounts. You are solely responsible for what happens with the accounts you create after the conclusion of your session. 
I will exhibit appropriate behavior online. Many internet tools allow for a wide range of interaction, including comments, posts, discussions, and peer feedback. Everything you write or share online is a reflection of you,and should be treated as public. It is your responsibility to make wise decisions about how you want to be perceived by instructors and classmates. Commit to only sharing appropriate information. 
I will respect myself and others at all times. Never share a post, comment, or image that could be perceived as disrespectful. Do not engage with or respond to inappropriate or disrespectful posts or images. Report inappropriate activity to your instructor. 
It is important that you never use copyrighted work without permission, and that you always credit the original producer of the work. This includes the lesson content, homework and any materials provided relevant to the coursework. 
I understand that it is my responsibility to read the terms of use or service and adhere to any age restrictions. Most web tools have specific age restrictions and terms of use that they expect users to follow. These are typically located at the bottom of all pages, particularly the home pages. It is your responsibility to read, understand, and follow these guidelines. ThinkChess will never expect or require you to use any tool in a manner that violates the terms of use or age restrictions. 
I will contact my instructor or ThinkChess staff if at any time I feel uncomfortable about online activity related to my course. You have the right to feel safe and protected when utilizing online tools and resources. If at any time you feel uncomfortable, or experience or witness instances of bullying, harassment, inappropriate language or content, please contact your instructor or the ThinkChess staff as soon as possible. If you are concerned about the manner in which you are being asked to share an assignment, your instructor can offer an alternative method or tool, or an alternate assignment.
I am aware of the risks associated with Internet usage and agree to hold harmless The ThinkChess and all of their staff and coaches from any and all liability, personal loss, data compromise etc. which may occur with any online interaction.
