▌ Editor's read The provided URL leads to the City of Alexandria's Department of Recreation, Parks & Cultural Activities registration portal, specifically for camps. While it lists 'Silver Knights Chess Camp - Half Day AM (Non-Resident)' with a cost of $334, it does not provide a dedicated website for the camp itself. Therefore, detailed information about the camp's philosophy, staff, safety policies, or specific daily schedule is not available directly from this link. Silver Knights Chess Camps, as a broader organization, generally receive positive Google reviews, often praised for their enthusiastic instructors and ability to teach chess effectively to children. However, specific reviews for this particular 'Half Day AM (Non-Resident)' offering through Alexandria are not readily available. The camp is a day program, and its owner type is likely 'unknown' as it's offered through a municipal parks department but operated by an external vendor (Silver Knights). There is no mention of ACA accreditation or specific staff-to-camper ratios on the registration page, nor any language regarding background checks for staff.
