The Knight School Portland

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!

 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.

Join us this Summer as we roll out a brand new Summer Chess Camp experience! Each session of camp will feature a different high-level chess opening, complete with it's own Tactics Band! Featuring some of the most famous chess openings, such as the Queen's Gambit, the Italian Game, and the Fried-Liver Attack, beginners and advanced students alike are sure to have a blast at one of our week-long Summer Chess Camps!

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