The Knight School Houston Bay Area

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, each of our one-week sessions will have their own individually-colored Swirly wristbands! You read that right: NEW SWIRLY WRISTBANDS! And each Session will introduce a new chess opening, and each session will introduce some fantastic new classroom game 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.

We offer both full-day and half-day chess camps at most locations and on most weeks. 

All camps are in-person.

Classes will be cancelled or combined if low enrollment; you will be notified a week before classes begin.
