Why Choose Our Chess Camp?
20 spots per a session, first come first serve.
This is a non-profit event run on public space. There is no entry fee. You must donate some amount of money up front to be registered for the camp. The money for your fee will go towards the cost of the chess instructor, chess equipment (clocks/sets), and paying for non-profit insurance. The only way to register for the camp is to e-transfer us some donated amount of money with your info in the e-transfer link, before registration closes. We do not take cash and we do not register people who have not donated.
E-Transfer a donation to etobicokechessclub@gmail.com with description:
First & Last name of student / Rating (FIDE/CFC/Online rating)/ Email Address/Phone Number
NOTE: We do NOT accept camp sign-ups over e-mail without an e-transferred donation. If you send us your details by email but there’s no donation, you will not be registered until you donate. We will not remind you or reply/debate this with you. If you do not register with the above e-transfer donation method, there will be no registration. We need to streamline our process so we can hold more camp sessions and reduce organizer burden.
Once you donate, your donation cannot be reversed unless we cancel the march break camp (unlikely). If you have to drop out of the camp before the start date, we will not be able to return your donation, but we will un-register you as requested.
