Chess Club For Kids

Mr. Kruse & Guy (St. George Mom's son)

My son enjoys playing Chess and we were so happy to find a Chess Club for kids in elementary school. The instructor is Michael Kruse who has a passion for the game and played the World Chess Champion.

Chess Club is part of the Kidspace After School program offered through Community Education. The program is designed to assist students with their homework as well as providing STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) activities. To learn more about what the Kidspace program has to offer, call 435-652-7675

A schedule is being created, but Chess Club will most likely be held afternoons at 5 different schools in Ivins, St. George, Washington, and Hurricane. The fee is $5 a class and payable to the instructor.
