Susan Polgar Institute for Chess Excellence (SPICE) at Webster University is the #1 ranked collegiate chess program in the United States for the past 5 straight years. The SPICE teams won the College Chess Final Four Championships seven years in a row from 2011–2017.
The SPICE Chess Summer Camp is a fun way to introduce chess to newcomers of the game as well as deepen the understanding of the game for intermediate or advanced players.
All instructors are members of the SPICE team (including GMs) and will teach based on Susan Polgar’s world-class curriculum. (Some of the instructors include GMs Ray Robson, Illia Nyzhnyk, Gabor Papp, PD Kannappan, Manuel Leon Hoyos, IM Vitaly Neimer and Senior Master Aaron Grabinsky, plus additional SPICE team members.)

I really regret that there were no camps (or training) offered when I was young. Would it be possible to add an adult section to your camp? Or allow adults to attend lessons that could benefit them? At 67, and living in Omaha, Ne., I might not be able to come to St. Louis for a camp. But I do have the means to do so if it were allowed.
I second Bradley Johnson’s comment. Nothing like the current training was ever available to me as a kid. Probably couldn’t have afforded it or taken the time off as a young adult anyway. Now in my retirement (I’m 71) I can both afford it and have the time. Please consider an adult camp. Ii would be an honor to study with Ms. Polgar.
I would like to attend an adult class
It sounds like we have a Seniors class ! I would attend in a heartbeat, and 63 here.
Good post. I learn something new and challenging on sites I
stumbleupon everyday. It will always be helpful to read content from other writers and use a little something from other sites.
