THE 2002 SAMISH SUMMER CHESS CAMP, held at Samish Elementary in Sedro-Woolley, 
July 8-11, was a great success!  The camp drew 33 participants (beginners, advanced, 
and intermediate players, grades 1-8) from Skagit and Whatcom Counties and beyond.  
Instructors Elliot Neff and Randy Walther taught morning classes and ran an ongoing 
rated tournament in the afternoon.  The four day camp culminated in an awards 
ceremony, the results of which are listed below.  

Organizers Anne Lobeck and Randy Walther hope to run another camp next year, 
with both Randy W. and Elliot as instructors. Look for more information next
