A Math Camp for Mathematically Talented High School Students from around the World!


Mathcamp 2002 update

Mathcamp 2002 is being held from July 7 to August 11 on the campus of Colorado College in Colorado Springs, Colorado. See the FAQ to find out how to contact Mathcamp in Colorado.

What is Mathcamp?

Mathcamp is an intensive 5-week-long summer program for gifted students which incorporates the fun elements of a camp and the following goals:

  • Inspire and motivate mathematically talented high school students by exposing them to the beauty and variety of mathematics
  • Impart the knowledge and skills for the early pursuit of mathematics
  • Provide a supportive environment for interaction among students who love mathematics.

Why come to Mathcamp?

At Mathcamp you will
  • Learn exciting mathematical ideas not usually covered in high school
  • Gain in mathematical understanding, skills, and confidence--whether in preparation for a possible career in math or science, as training for math competitions, or simply out of interest for the subject
  • Get a unique chance to study with some of the finest mathematicians of today
  • Meet and make friends with the mathematicians and applied mathematicians of tomorrow -- fellow Mathcamp students coming together, discovering common interests and purposes, and learning from each other.

Your counselors ("mentors") will be young mathematicians from the world's top universities, selected for teaching ability and enthusiasm.

Each year, Mathcamp is held at a different university campus in the USA or Canada. Mathcamp 2001 was held at Colby College in Waterville, Maine, from July 8th to August 12th, 2001.
