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!

PLUS, beginning this summer, each of our sixteen one-week sessions will have their own individually-colored Swirly wristbands! You read that right: NEW SWIRLY WRISTBANDS! And each Session will introduce a new chess opening, and each session will introduce some fantastic new classroom game that will socially bond the summer camp groups like never before!

 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.

We offer both full-day and half-day chess camps at most locations and on most weeks. 

All camps are in-person unless otherwise noted.
