Welcome to the Chess Clubhouse, a neighbourhood club designed for elementary-aged children, aged 6-14. Our 2-hour program offers a fun and friendly environment where your child can play, socialize, and learn under the guidance of a trained Host.
We meet in-person at community spaces like libraries, religious buildings, and community centers, ensuring a safe and welcoming setting. At the Chess Clubhouse, we believe chess is more than just a game—it’s a valuable tool for the development of both problem-solving skills and social skills.
No prior experience is necessary to join. Our Clubhouse sessions are carefully guided to emphasize cooperative activities, puzzles, and games. This approach allows players of different skill levels to support and learn from one another, creating a nurturing environment for all.
Every child, regardless of ability, age, or gender, is warmly welcomed here! Give your child the gift of chess, companionship, and laughter at the Chess Clubhouse. We’re excited to meet and welcome them to our growing community.
