CheckMate Kids Summer Camp
About this Event
Our camps are built around expert, ability-grouped coaching, so whether your child is making their first moves or playing at tournament level, they'll be challenged and supported by our team. Days are balanced with brain games that build focus and patience, plus drama games and sport to keep energy high — all in a warm, inclusive group where confidence and friendships grow.
A typical day
Drop-off and warm-up games from 9am, two coaching blocks either side of a morning break, lunch and free play in York Gardens, then afternoon tournament games and chess variants (including chaos chess!) before 4pm pick-up.
When
Week 1: Mon 3rd – Fri 7th August
Week 2: Mon 17th – Fri 21st August
9am – 4pm, with early drop-off and late pick-up available.
Where
Hotel Rafayel, 34 Lombard Rd, Battersea, SW11 3RF — a 10-minute walk from Clapham Junction, with on-site parking available.
What to bring
A packed lunch and snacks, a water bottle, and outdoor-ready play clothes.
Good to know
Safety is our priority: we keep low staff-to-child ratios and all coaches are Enhanced DBS-checked. Full days, half days and single-day places are available, with a 10% sibling discount. If a place would be a financial stretch, please get in touch — we hold bursary places for every camp.
