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.

CSI: TCU (Junior Frogs in the Lab): Grades 8 - 11
At CSI: TCU, we hope to excite and educate 8th - 11th graders for a future in a CSI-related field. Our camp will provide you with the basic knowledge needed to unlock your curiosity about the ever-expanding fields of crime scene investigation and forensics. CSI Camp covers topics like basic criminal investigation, forensic analysis techniques, crime scene processing, and collection and packaging of evidence. Our camp activities include lifting and examining fingerprints, casting tread impressions, identifying and examining blood spatter/stains, and much more.
Throughout the camp, you will have the opportunity to hear from instructors who currently work in the field of crime scene investigation, working professionals. Our instructors will share their daily operations and provide insight into the world of forensics.

Camp meets 9am – 3pm, Monday – Thursday and 9am – 4pm on Friday—parents are invited to the Friday afternoon camper presentations. Lunch will be provided daily.
