Castle Chess requires a minimum USCF rating of 1100. The average rating is approximately 1700. We have hosted campers from 39 states and 8 countries!

The age minimum is 10. There is no age maximum – adults are welcome too!

Castle Chess also hosts the $12,000 Grand Prix Tournament the weekend after camp. The GP tournament is open to everyone: campers, staff, non-campers.
