What Camp Is Like
Joyful math with real depth.
This is not a worksheet camp or a race through school topics. Campers will spend the week exploring rich mathematical invitations: puzzles, games, patterns, play, visual structure, and problems with room for many kinds of thinkers.
Puzzles and games
Campers work with playful problems that invite strategy, persistence, and surprise.
Patterns and structure
We look for what changes, what stays the same, and what might be true beneath the surface.
Conversation and conjecture
Children learn to notice, explain, test ideas, revise, and listen to one another.
Who It Is For
For many relationships to math.
This camp can be a fit for children who already love puzzles and want more challenge. It can also be a fit for children who need a warmer, more playful experience of mathematics than school has offered them.
The common thread is curiosity: a willingness to try, notice, wonder, explain, and stay with an interesting problem.
