COVID-19 & 2020 Camp Update
The COVID-19 pandemic may very well cancel Lego Camp if emergency protocols at federal/provincial /local authorities recommended it. We will continue to monitor this global situation.
At this moment we have not made any decisions but will do so by June 1, 2020. By that date, if recommendations are negative, a full refund will be issued. Our top priority is the health and safety of our campers, our staff and our community.
Let’s pray decisions are made for the benefit of everyone’s healthcare and we can plan for a warm wonderful summer!
Stay safe!
Mr. Lee

Happy New Year 2019!
Another year…where did the time go? After some much needed down time we’re ready to jump into 2019. Plans are underway for the Grade by Grade Chess Tournament in March, The Teams Tournament in April and our very popular summer camps in July.
The Grade by Grade Tournament (grade by grade registration package 2019) will once again be held at the Hellenic Community Centre on Southdale Road. Registration will only be accepted through your child’s school as the event is during the school day.
The annual Teams Tournament is a unique opportunity for children to compete as a team. Instead of an individual’s score to determine outcome, the team’s score is taken into consideration thus building camaraderie and excitement as team mates cheer each other on. This year’s event will be held at St. Mary Choir Catholic School. Thank you in advance to Principal, Lisa Gardi for hosting! Tournament information will be added shortly.
Camp Registration is OPEN!!! Chess Camp 2019 (chess camp flyer 2019) is scheduled for July 8 – 12 and Lego Camp 2019 (lego camp flyer 2019) for July 22 – 26. Don’t miss out on these super fun, activity filled and educational camps for your child!
Also, City Chess Club resumes this week so we welcome back current club members and new ones as well. If your child is interested in trying it out, the first visit is always complimentary. For more information on City Chess Club, please click on the following link: City Chess Club Flyer-2018 -19 (1).
Wishing everyone a safe and Happy New Year!
Cheers!
