Hendricks Chess and Sports Camps

Summer 2012

A 5 day chess camp combined with a sports camp, challenging both mind and body! Runs Mon-Fri from 9:00am to 4:00pm. Sports activities include soccer, baseball, kickball, basketball, tennis, , ultimate frisbee, billiards, ping-pong, and golf, and include instruction as well as competitive play time. Chess instruction assumes players have completed at least one year of chess club, played in prior chess tournaments, and know chess notation. Class sizes are small and intimate - limited to a max of 12 for lots of individual attention. There is new chess content each year – different openings, tactics, not a repeat from last year.

Run by coach David Hendricks – full time chess coach of 10 schools including a national and state championship team, and Scholastic Director for the Washington Chess Federation, but he is also an avid sports player and an athletic director organizing and refereeing basketball, volleyball, softball, and tennis leagues for youth and adults. .

Location: Hendricks house: 2439 220th Place NE, Sammamish WA 98074. Sports activities will be at a neighborhood park, within walking distance.

Dates: July 16-20. Open to kids in 1st to 8th grades.
