Spend a week playing and learning about chess from the Silver Knights chess coaches! Our coaches are highly-rated professional chess instructors, including a two-time U.S. Open champion and the state champions of Pennsylvania and Arizona. We have taught tens of thousands of children to play, many of whom have won state and national championships. Campers are broken up into groups by skill level, so we accept anyone from total beginners up through experienced and highly-rated tournament players. Each camper receives a T-shirt and a tournament-style chess set. Activities include learning openings, tactics, endgames, studying master games, playing games against fellow students, and analyzing the students’ games. Campers will take breaks for snacks and fresh air every hour, and full-day campers have lunch and recess from 12:00 – 1:00. Most camps are $300/week (full-day) and $175/week (half-day).
