The Wallace Chess Christmas Camp at St Mary Abbots Centre in London will be held on December 14, 2026, from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM. The camp is suitable for children aged between four and sixteen years old, catering to beginners as well as intermediate and advanced players. Full and half-day options are available, with full week bookings only being offered.
We welcome children aged 4-16, from complete beginners, intermediate to advanced players. We now offer both full and half days of camp:
Full day 9am-4pm; Half day 9am-1pm
FULL WEEK BOOKINGS ONLY!
Our camps run from Monday to Thursday (except bank holidays, then we run Tuesday-Friday) of all school holidays.
They have proved to be an extremely fun week of chess that enables children’s learning of the game immensely.
During the morning session from 9am-1pm we run a friendly tournament throughout the week and in between rounds the children will solve chess puzzles, listen to short lectures, learn about end games, strategies and tactics, learn how to play with chess clocks and how to notate etc. We will have a lunch break at 11am (please bring a packed lunch and a bottle of water, and if you are staying for the full day bring an additional snack for the afternoon break).
In the afternoon session from 1-4pm we will do chess arts & crafts, read chess stories, play fun games like bomb chess, hand & brain etc. Then we will take a nice break outdoors (weather permitting) to have a snack, play and burn off some steam.
