CAMP staff 2020
We welcome all interested students, encourage those who feel shy to join, and offer scholarships to make attendance possible for students at all economic levels. We value the diversity of our student body, especially with groups traditionally underrepresented in the mathematical sciences.
CAMP 2019 (in-person at Bard College)
CAMP is a mathematical enrichment opportunity for students who want to explore challenging math in a relaxed setting. Engaging classes and activities are led by experienced educators and undergraduate math majors. We emphasize hands-on math, teamwork, outside-the-box thinking and creative problem-solving.
CAMP 2021 will run online, with students connecting each day from home.
CAMP students are immersed in math every day. The program features mathematical investigations, computer programming and mathematical art. Students work together and join a supportive and accepting pre-college mathematical community.
No experience necessary! Many CAMP students write their first programs with us, under the guidance of experienced and supportive computer science educators. Even intermediate and advanced students hone their coding abilities.
CAMPers have an artistic license to express their mathematical understanding in many forms. Creative hands-on learning!
Read about CAMP in blogs!
There's no better way to learn more about CAMP than to read our daily posts, blogged by our undergraduate staff over the years.
