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!
TKS 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, ReChess outside play, and fast-paced party-bead tournaments! Laughter and compelling teaching approaches make this camp the summertime highlight for thousands of kids nationwide.
Chess camp meets for 3 hours in the morning (9-12) or afternoon (1-4) for a full week, Monday through Friday. You may also enroll in the full day M-F: 9am-4pm. Half-day camp costs $300 and full-day camp costs $500. We offer unlimited need-baseds scholarships, so ultimately camp is a "pay-what-you-can" tuition. Please email Coach Liv (liv@theknightschool.com) to inquire about scholarships.
