The Knight School Research Triangle

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 morning and afternoon Camps will have their own individually-colored Swirly wristbands! You read that right: NEW SWIRLY WRISTBANDS! And each Camp will introduce a new chess opening, and each session will introduce some fantastic new classroom games 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.

Chess camp meets for 3 hours in the morning or afternoon for a full week, Monday through Friday.

We offer both full-day and half-day Chess Camps at most locations. 

All Camps are in-person unless otherwise noted.
