TEWKSBURY, MA — The Town of Tewksbury is pleased to announce a new partnership with Chess Wizards, which will bring youth chess classes and summer camp to Tewksbury Public Library starting in May 2024

Through the Town of Tewksbury, Chess Wizards will bring youth chess lessons, exciting tournaments, and fun team activities to the Tewksbury Public Library, located at 300 Chandler Street, Tewksbury beginning in the Spring 2024.

Chess Wizards will offer a safe, fun, and friendly environment for kids grades K-5 to learn how to play and compete in chess. Their mission is to inspire lifelong learning, both on and off the chess board as well as build relationships and communities connected through the game of chess. Kids will experience an interactive curriculum for beginners all the way up to experienced chess players. This initial offering will have an eight-week program with class every Friday, 4:00 PM – 5:00 PM, from May 3 through June 28. There will also be a weeklong summer chess camp from August 19 through August 23, offered at half-day and full-day increments.

Registration links are hosted on the newly launched “Recreation Resources” page on the Town website under the Chess Wizards subpage at www.tewksbury-ma.gov/recreation. The registration link will redirect to the Chess Wizard’s online portal and requires creating a login. The registration link may be accessed via www.tewksbury-ma.gov/chesswizards.
