281-495-1511.
The camp director will also have a cell phone on throughout camp. That phone
number is 713-397-8758.
Pick-up and Drop-off
You may drop your children off each morning in the fellowship hall
of the church between 8:45 and 9 am.
Chess camp begins promptly at 9 am. Parents, please note: you must park and
walk your child into the building and sign them in. Similarly,
pick-up will be from the fellowship hall only. Children will not be
allowed to go out and wait at the curb at 4:15 pm. You must come in
and sign your child out each day.
What to Bring or Not Bring
- Good Attitude - This is the most important thing of all
to bring. Please don't forget and leave it at home!
- Chess Stuff - We have plenty of chess sets and clocks, there is no
need to bring yours from home. However, you may wish to bring your own scorebook if you like
keeping your games in order. Otherwise, we will have score sheets
available to use throughout camp.
- Food - We will provide a kid friendly lunch as well as
morning and afternoon snacks each day. At this point, I
suspect lunch will be pizza on Monday and Wednesday, and chicken
nuggets on Tuesday. If you have a picky eater, feel free to send a lunch with your child. While I don't anticipate buying any peanut products,
please let me know if your child has any food allergies.
- Medication - I am not legally allowed to dispense
medication to your child. If your child needs medication
during the day, it is your responsibility to administer it.
- Clothing - All Kindergarten and First graders should
have a change of clothing.
If we have wet weather and there are puddles on the
playground, or because of the ever present
possibility of bathroom accidents, it is only prudent. Parents of
older children may use your own discretion. Please be sure
everything is well labeled.
Parental Assistance Requested
To run smoothly, I need at least 2 adults helping throughout each
day. More is better. The instructors need time for bathroom breaks and preparation.
We will divide each day into morning and afternoon and have
volunteers sign up for at least one session. The morning
session will run from 9 am - 1 pm, the afternoon session from 11:45
- 4:15 pm. We are overlapping at lunch, so as to have extra help at
that time. If you can help, please email me your preferred
session and one or two alternatives if you have them. That way if
one of the sessions is oversubscribed (say Tuesday afternoon), I can
shift people around a bit. Many thanks!
Behavior and Discipline
Participation in Chess Camp is privilege not a right. The faculty
and administration of the camp require appropriate behavior from
all campers, in essence as outlined in HISD's Code of Student
Conduct. We will make every effort to work with children and their
parents to eliminate disruptive behavior. However, the Chess Camp
reserves the right to dismiss any camper who
repeatedly interferes with the teacher's ability to communicate
effectively with the class or with the ability of the camper's
classmates to learn.
