Summer is 11 Days Away. Here's What Your Child Will Be Doing.
New Jersey Chess Club, Morristown Location, Summer 2024
Dear Parent,
Summer break starts in 11 days.
And if you're like most parents, you're staring down the barrel of three months of:
"I'm bored"
Endless screen time
The slow erosion of everything they learned this school year
But here's the thing — you still have time to change the trajectory.
The NJCC Scholastic Summer Chess Program 📍 Morristown Masonic Center | 39 Maple Ave, Morristown, NJ 07960 📅 Monday – Friday | 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM
Here's what your child will actually be doing this summer:
Time Activity9:00 – 10:00 AM
Tournament practice games & puzzle warm-ups
10:00 – 11:00 AM
Chess lecture – age-appropriate strategy
11:00 – 11:45 AM
Tournament training & game analysis
11:45 AM – 12:00 PM Wrap up & review
Why chess? Why now?
Every week your child spends with us is a week they're building skills that transfer directly to the classroom:
Pattern recognition → stronger in math and science
Strategic thinking → better decision-making under pressure
Discipline → focus that most adults don't even have
Confidence → earned through real competition
Available weeks (as of today):
Week Dates Spots Left:
Week 1 June 15 – 19 Wide open
Week 2 June 22 – 26 5 spots
Week 3 June 29 – July 3 5 spots

Week 8 Aug 3 – 7 3 spots
Week 9 Aug 10 – 14 5 spots
Week 10 Aug 17 – 21 5 spots
Here's the honest truth:
Most of these weeks are dangerously close to empty. And that means one thing:
If your child's week doesn't fill, it doesn't run.
We're not saying this to scare you. We're saying it because we've seen what happens when a child gets left behind while their peers are advancing.

Help us spread the word — here's how you can make a difference:
We need your help to make sure these weeks fill up. Here are three simple things you can do right now:
Tell another family. Forward this email to a friend, neighbor, or teammate's parent. The referral program means you both win — they get a great camp, and you get 15% off.
Tell your child's school or teacher. Many schools are looking for enrichment programs to recommend to families over the summer. A quick email to your child's principal or classroom teacher letting them know about NJCC could help dozens of kids find us. We can even provide a flyer for them to share.
Share on social or your local parent group. Post in your town's Facebook group, Nextdoor, or PTA WhatsApp chat. Nothing beats a personal recommendation from a parent who's been there.
The more kids who sign up, the stronger every week becomes — better competition, more friends, and a richer experience for your child.
Register now. Because the best move is always the one you make first.
“P.S. – Week 8 (Aug 3–7) only has 3 spots left. If you’re on the fence, that’s the one that will go first. Don’t let your child be the one asking “why didn’t you sign me up?””
“P.P.S. – Forward this to one other family today. If they sign up, you get 15% off. It’s that simple.”
