In July, the Greater Princeton Branch of AYLUS (GPA) volunteered at Rise Summer Camp for 2022.
Members of Greater Princeton AYLUS are taking part in a volunteering opportunity for teaching classes at the Rise Summer Camp. The Rise Summer Camp is a 6 week camp made affordable to everyone, where tuition is based on family income. It helps everyone have a memorable summer experience without having to worry about the financial aspect in less fortunate families.
GPA members continued teaching Group 4 and 5, where they reviewed how pieces moved, learned point value, and then spent the rest of the time playing games. We then taught group 5 for the first time. For the new group, we started off with introductions, and getting to know all the students, then taught the pieces, their names, and how to set up the chessboard. After practice with the basics we learned how chess pieces move, and at the end of class the students played a quick game. Everyone enjoyed learning how to play chess since it was something new that the students never experienced before, and something special that will stick with them forever.
