Even though Mathcamp is primarily a program for high school students, we also welcome applications from early college students who are still of high school age.
Many of us at Mathcamp have taken non-traditional educational paths -- and for some of us (both students and faculty), this means starting college 2-5 years early. Mathcamp is a great summer option for young math majors. The academic program provides opportunities for mathematical study and growth akin to those found in a traditional REU; we teach undergraduate- and graduate-level math classes, and if there's a particular area you're interested in (or you want to get better at!), our faculty can help you create a curriculum to meet your needs.
Residential life at Mathcamp will include the freedom and flexibility you're used to as a college student. But Mathcamp provides something more: a group of like-minded peers, your own age, who are bright, creative, and love math. As one early college camper put it: "Coming to Mathcamp has given me a community with which to interact, not just five weeks a year, but all year round."
Feel free to contact us to discuss your particular situation.
