Summer Camps
The UT Dallas Chess Program spreads enthusiasm for the game year-round.
Summer chess camps engage children in intellectual pursuit while building social skills. Many campers return year after year to build their skills and see friends.
Registration begins each winter for the following summer’s camps. Check back often to receive discounts and ensure their spot at the chess boards.

Camp groups include:
- Beginners, who master the basic rules and fundamentals of chess
