Chess Knights Summer Camp

Camp Description

Welcome to the Chess Knights' Summer Camp, where young minds become strategic champions! Our camps are designed for 1st to 8th grade students who are passionate about the game of chess or eager to learn.

At Chess Knights, we believe that chess is more than just a game—it's a journey that enhances critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and fosters creativity. Our camp provides a fun and supportive environment where children can explore the complexities of chess while making friends and creating lasting memories. We will conclude the week’s lessons with a tournament of the participants.

Intermediate Level: A camp for 1st to 8th graders that have been playing chess for a year or more. Campers will have the opportunity to build their skills through lessons and game play with peers and AI.
