Summer Camp 2020
June 22-26, 2020
Learn the Best Card Game Ever – Meet New Friends
Does your child like to play games or solve puzzles? Would he/she like to meet other kids their age who also like games. Does your family like to play bridge or other card games? Have you taken some bridge lessons? Have you wished you could learn faster or play more? If you answered yes to any of these, Silicon Valley Youth Bridge has a great Summer Camp for you!
What will Campers learn?
Students new to bridge will learn the basics of bridge bidding and card play. For those with some experience, such as attendance at SiVY events, classes, or last year’s Summer Camp, Camp will start where they left off, with each skill level assigned to a similarly skilled group. After attending camp students will be able to continue their learning at other SiVY events or by taking classes offered through the Palo Alto Bridge Club.
What are the benefits?
Bridge helps students strengthen their basic math and logic skills while they have fun. It gives them a chance to make new friends while they are learning about the importance of teamwork. The camp will let them learn from each other, as well as from experienced teachers and mentors, without the pressure associated with academic requirements.Bridge Testimonials
