Holiday Camps

Our Holiday Camps are 2-day events run during school breaks (Easter, Summer, Christmas). They combine chess lessons, puzzles, friendly games, fun challenges and an optional tournament. Camps are designed for juniors of all abilities, helping children improve their skills while enjoying a lively, social atmosphere.

You can book your child’s place directly here through our Holiday Camps event page. Simply choose the camp you’re interested in, complete the registration form, and make the payment if required. We’ll then send you confirmation with everything else you need to know.

We keep our camps simple. Each camp runs as a 2-day package. Parents can book both days for the full experience, or just one day if needed. Our King Package option is the most popular option as it allows children to enjoy the complete mix of lessons, games, and tournaments for the best value for money.

Children attending a LearnChess Academy Camp can expect a mix of engaging chess lessons tailored to their level, fun puzzles and problem-solving activities, friendly games and mini-tournaments, and social breaks and time to make new friends. By the end of camp, every child leaves with new skills, confidence, and often new friends too!

All camps are run by our professional coaching team, who are DBS-checked and trained in safeguarding. Children are supervised throughout the day, with clear structure for breaks and activities. Parents can be assured that camps are safe, welcoming, and run to the highest standards.

We offer a sibling discount when two or more children from the same family attend our clubs, camps, or events at the same time. This discount applies only while both siblings are active. To claim, simply mention the sibling discount when booking, and our team will apply it to your invoice.

Membership is automatically included when your child is enrolled in one of our school chess clubs, external clubs or online lessons. Members may receive special discounts for tournaments, camps, or other Academy events. If you’re unsure whether you qualify, please contact us and we’ll be happy to check for you.
