Awesome Math is a three-week program with camps at the University of Texas at Dallas, Cornell University, and the University of California at Santa Cruz that accepts students in grades six through 11. Campers spend their days attending lectures and problem-solving sessions with evening recreational activities. Campers engage in activities that sharpen problem-solving skills and expand their mathematical skills in general. The program prepares students to compete in contests like MATHCOUNTS and Math Olympiad.
Camp Euclid is a six-week online camp for students 13 to 18 that strives to further mathematical research and spread a passion for math worldwide. Assigned groups meet together with a mentor four hours a week online to investigate solutions to previously unsolved problems. Students also commit to spending another six hours a week in independent study. Despite its online format, former campers claim to have made lasting relationships with group members.
Canada/U.S.A. Mathcamp is a five-week camp that allows students to immerse themselves in mathematical studies of their own choosing. Camp days are a combination of classes and colloquia that introduce new math. The staff-to-camper ratio is small, and camp faculty is readily accessible to campers. During their stay, campers can put together a yearbook, engage in activities like interactive literature or Ultimate Frisbee, or sing in one of the camp's two choirs.
Math Path is a four-week residential camp for students age 11 to 14 complete with games and field trips. The camp emphasizes fundamentals, not just formulas or problem solving for competitions. University professors teach classes and sessions that stress methods over specific content like geometry and algebra. Campers spend their days attending lectures called plenary sessions and brainstorming in breakout sessions that occur several times a day. Saturday afternoons are devoted to games and competitions.
