Collegiate School Summer Quest is thrilled to host the MATCH chess camp for the fourth year. Whether campers are registered for the half or full day of camp, they leave each day looking forward to the next. The unique experience of playing a game of chess with Grandmaster Maurice Ashley is only one of the many highlights campers get to experience in this week long camp. Each year, parents are impressed with the variety of activities and skills this camp has to offer.
