Loading...St. Luke’s Episcopal Church is dedicated to providing KnoxCounty youth with the opportunity to develop their talents as chess players through education and competition. We believe that by engaging youth in the game of chess they can enhance their analytical thinking as well as critical reasoning skills to better prepare them to address the challenges of daily living. “Even the most calculated move on the board has consequences.”
Chess Camp at St. Luke’s is a safe place for your child to develop an appreciation for chess through the history, tactics, and concentration, just to name a few. Of course, your child will meet new friends and hopefully continue the study of the game.

While the format for each day is the same, the content of the lessons vary day to day. Students will be organized in different groups according to their knowledge and skill level.
Students will enjoy featured movies with a chess theme, meet and learn from accomplished chess players, and engage in constructive dialogue about how chess mirrors life. There will be physical exercise to empower the body as well as the mind.
There will be a light snack served along with a beverage daily.
Students with near perfect attendance will be rewarded with a nice parting gift from one of our sponsors.
