“It’s more than math; it’s a community”
What People Say
“[My daughter’s] experience last year was incredibly positive – I would even say life-changing. I’ve never seen her so happy and it definitely took her math passion to the next level.” -parent
“My kid literally starts counting down the weeks until camp, starting the day we get home from camp.” -parent
“I met all of my best friends here, and I speak with them all the time outside of camp. It’s without question my favorite part of the year.” -camper
“The faculty love what they’re doing—the enjoyment they take in teaching is the same enjoyment the students take in learning from them. There’s a huge range of “difficulty,” so my classmates are never lost, yet never unchallenged. Some classes made my head hurt and I loved it. I think the faculty remember that feeling—what it felt like to learn the math they’re teaching, and how much fun it was.” -scholar
