Math Camp Description:

Montana middle and high school students passionate about advanced math are invited to attend the Mathematics Circle Summer Camp hosted by the Science Math Resource Center at Montana State University. Participants will immerse themselves in exceptional math problem-solving activities, tour innovative university labs, and engage in fun STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) activities. 

This four-day camp is offered as a day camp.   MSU Summer Housing is available for out-of-town attendees.  Parents/guardians participate in a portion of the curriculum and stay with their children in the dorms.  There are no camp counsellors or chaperones outside of the day camp curriculum.

Participants will receive information about enrollment and test readiness for the American Mathematics Competitions; the national math exams conducted by the Mathematical Association of America. Results from these exams are often requested from prestigious universities like MIT, Stanford, and Caltech. These online exams are hosted for Montana students by the MSU Science Math Resource Center.

Questions?  Contact the Science Math Resource Center at [email protected] or (406) 994-7476.

Tuition for Math Circle summer camps are kept low by generous sponsorships from the Dean of the College of Education, Health, and Human Development, The MSU Center for Faculty Excellence, and the Mathematical Association of America.
