Our 2026 Chess Camps—running throughout Spring, Summer, and Winter Break—are now open at our Langley location, with flexible full-day and half-day weekly options for students from Kindergarten and up, at all skill levels. Campers are grouped by age and experience and enjoy skill-based lessons, puzzle challenges, game analysis, and tournament-style play with expert feedback.
Families attending camp at our Langley location can also mix and match camps with STEM programs offered by Zebra Robotics Langley on the same premises, creating full-day options with half-day Chess and half-day STEM. As these two camps are on the same premises and in different classrooms, the instructors will manage students moving from classroom to classroom for full day camps that attend both Chess and STEM programs, so pickup is necessary for this changeover.
