The Knight School's summer chess camps are the perfect way to relax during the summer in a fun environment with very smart friends! Beginners, it is also a great way to get ready for your school's official chess team and chess party in the fall. Chess Camp has a fun and friendly spirit and is a great way to keep the brain sharp during the summer while having a real blast! Chess Camp is a super-fun, high-energy chess experience in which kids entering grades 1 - 8 celebrate a new chess tactic each day with silly videos, music-driven puzzlers for prizes, colorful silicone Tactixbands, funny movies, and chess clock tourneys in which the winner gets the loser's Mardi-Gras beads! Laughter, fast-clocks, and compelling teaching approaches make this camp the summer's highlight for the hundreds of kids nationwide who make up the awesome network of The Knight School's chess teams.
