Description

One Week of Summertime Fun!

The Knight School Summer Chess Camps are the perfect way to get ready for your school's official chess team and chess party in the Fall. With a fun and friendly spirit, Chess Camp is a great way to keep the brain sharp over the Summer while having a real blast!

Chess Camp is a super-fun, high-energy chess experience in which kids celebrate a new chess tactic each day with silly videos, music-driven puzzlers for prizes, colorful silicone TactixBands, funny movies, and fast-paced party-bead tournaments! Laughter, fast clocks, and compelling teaching approaches make this camp the summertime highlight for hundreds of kids nationwide.

Chess camp meets for 3 hours in the morning or afternoon for a full week, Monday through Friday. You may also enroll in the full day M-F: 9am-4pm.

 

Each session will teach a brand-new chess opening, and students will earn a corresponding swirly band:
