2026 SUMMER CHESS CAMP

ENROLLMENT IS NOW OPEN!

All skill-levels, including brand-new beginners and highly advanced chess tacticians are welcome to enroll in Summer BlastCamp! 

 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. 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!

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

All camps are in-person unless otherwise noted.
