"More Fun Than Grownups Should Have"


What are Bridge Boot camps?




Elevate your bridge game to new heights. You will learn about bidding, taking tricks, defensive play and much more!


Lead by an award-winning, certified instructor who will teach concepts (WHY) rather than rules (HOW) and help you improve your bridge game by playing hands.


Each day's sessions will include expert presentations on bidding, play of the hand and defense. By program’s end, you will be thinking bridge.


  • Explore bidding with a modern and no-nonsense approach to Standard American (& 2/1) emphasizing competitive bidding tools.
  • Learn all the secrets to taking tricks on purpose and see how easy it can be to count the cards.
  • Examine defensive play and learn how to read through the back of your partner's cards.


General Note: NOT suitable for beginners. Participants should have a working knowledge of bridge and play regularly
