Youth Bridge Camps

“Bridge is a great way to learn from inferences. A lot of decisions in life are made by inferring from what you know,” says Warren Buffet. Buffet and Microsoft’s Bill Gates are avid bridge players and are regularly spotted at tournaments.

Bridge isn’t just a game for retirees. If you like chess, spades, mind games, or solving problems, bridge could be for you.

Bridge is a highly competitive, fun, and intellectual card game that people of all ages can enjoy. With over 8 million different hands that can be dealt, every deal is a new adventure! Studies have consistently shown that bridge helps in developing math, logic, and communication skills.

Come and learn the basics of bridge, the world’s greatest card game. Andre, the main instructor, is an ACBL-certified bridge teacher and manager of the WR bridge club who has represented the USA in international bridge competitions. All middle and high school students are welcome.

Spring Bridge Events

It's about time to for the next round of beginner classes to get going and to bring out the bridge players who don't yet play duplicate.

Thursday, April 25 we will have a mentoring/new faces game. Regular players pay regular price ($4) but new players are free. All regular players should bring a new player to play with. Ruth and Jerry may be able to help some of you find a partner, but we are depending on everyone to reach out to a friend or colleague or social bridge friend and introduce them to duplicate. You can even bring someone who you spent the length of dinner teaching bridge to - a week later is the next learn bridge in a day course.

Saturday, May 4, I am planning to teach another learn bridge in a day course for absolute beginners. Even people with a small amount of experience may find this course useful in refining the basics, especially if they haven't had an organized class before. The plan is for this course to go from 9:30-2:30 and I plan to order pizza for lunch around noon. Cost is $20.

Youth bridge camps are coming in the summer, too. Check back soon for that information.
