Castle Chess Camp is held annually on the campus of Emory University in Atlanta, GA.
The camp requires a minimum USCF rating of 1100. Average rating for the past three years has been around 1700. (The median rating in 2019 was 1755.) Age minimum is 10 (8 or 9 year olds may attend with additional restrictions, see registration info). There is no age maximum – adults are welcome too.
Castle Chess also hosts the Castle Grand Prix tournament immediately following the camp. The tournament is for campers, camp staff, and non-campers and features $13,500 in prize money guaranteed.
Now in its 20th year, this camp brings together top coaches and top students for a week of intensive training- and fun! As of 2019, we have hosted campers from 39 different states and 8 different countries!
