December holiday chess camps

We’re really proud of our chess teachers! Many chess centers care mainly about the teacher’s chess abilities. But we’ve found that a great chess teacher needs much more than that. That’s why we’re proud to say that our chess teachers are great at making lessons fun and exciting for kids. Our teachers strive to leave each student with at least one “special moment” every lesson. Sometimes, that means celebrating a new chess skill they’ve picked up. Other times, it could mean surprising them with cake for their birthday.

Beyond that, our teachers have the chess abilities to back it up too. Many of them are certified to teach in MOE schools and have received coaching certifications from FIDE, the international chess federation.

Entrust us with your child’s holiday experience! We’ll do all we can to give them a fruiful and enjoyable time with us.

Beyond learning the game itself, our camps provide several key developmental benefits:

• Reduced Screen Time: Chess offers a productive, engaging "digital detox," allowing kids to focus on tangible, face-to-face interaction rather than devices.

• Cognitive Development: The game naturally trains concentration, pattern recognition, and strategic thinking. These are skills that translate well to academic and daily life.

• Genuine Social Connection: Your child will meet and interact with peers who share a similar interest, fostering real friendships.

• A Lifelong Skill: It is an opportunity to discover a new, intellectually stimulating hobby that they can enjoy for years to come.

Your child can bring a water bottle and jacket for the camp. All chess materials will be provided. They will also be receiving a free chess set that they can bring home and play with. Who knows, your child may end up teaching you chess! #value

There are plenty of malls and food options available nearby for parents to wait. Please note that parents and/or helpers will not be allowed into the centre during classes.

Your child will still be allowed to come for the camp. However, the full camp fees will still be payable.

The Chess.sg Clubhouse is conveniently located at Bukit Timah Shopping Centre, #18-01. It’s a short 3 minute sheltered walk from Beauty World MRT Station.

Yes, the final day of every camp involves a mini-tournament between all camp participants.

Not to worry! We also provide 1:1 chess coaching at your home or online. Simply drop us a Whatsapp message or visit chess.sg/coaching to find out more.

Many of our campers join our group classes and/or participate in our weekly chess tournaments. Our camp syllabus changes each camp, so they can also come back next holiday for a different experience!
