Jenny N08/12/20214.5Since my kids have been attending the Berkeley Chess Academy for years, I've never ceased to be impressed with the caliber of their chess instruction and competitions. And I'm delighted to work with BCS because of their goal of making chess accessible to everyone, regardless of wealth. I appreciate BCS's dedication to chess and this community.
Ellen R09/22/20214My daughter will be returning to Mountain Meadow for the sixth summer in a row this year, PLUS she wants to be a Jr. Counselor! I attended Mountain Meadow as a camper back in the 1980s, returned as a counselor for one year in the early 1990s. The next summer, a counselor, and then another! This camp has always been a part of our family and our life. It is my child's all-time favorite spot in the world and has played a significant role in greatly influencing who she is now. All year long, she misses it and looks forward to it. MMR truly embodies what it is to be a child, and the children are aware of this from the very beginning.
Rhian M10/23/20214.5This summer, my daughter attended session A and had the most amazing experience. While she only wrote home three times, it was tough to go two weeks without speaking to her. Nonetheless, she had a blast and cannot wait to come back the following year. She returned home with lots of tales of epic experiences, and the counselors were fantastic!
