Emory
Chess Association and the American Chess School present the sixth
annual Atlanta Castle Chess Camp at Emory University,
June 17th through the 24th, 2007.
The Castle Chess Camp is a nationally renowned program of chess
instruction, recreation and competition that brings together
some of the best chess teachers and scholastic players from
across the U.S. The Atlanta camp is now recognized as one of
the finest (and strongest!) chess camps in the country.
The camp concept was developed out of a five-year study of 7th
and 8th grade students by Dr. Robert Ferguson in Pennsylvania.
Those students engaged in chess classes showed dramatic improvement
in their schoolwork compared with those students who were engaged
in other forms of "enrichment activities." These results prompted
Dr. Ferguson to form the American Chess School, which held its
first resident "Castle" camp in 1982.
This year marks the twenty-sixth anniversary of Castle Camps.
The Atlanta Camp is brought to you jointly by the Emory Chess
Association and the American Chess School.
Emory Chess Association Inc., is a non-profit, nondiscriminatory
corporation dedicated to the promotion of chess in Georgia. |
