Camp Dates
The Honors Summer Math Camp is a full-time, in-person experience. We structure this program so that you will have time to bond with other campers, develop as a problem solver and researcher, and become an integral part of the Mathworks community. It is important not to take on any additional obligations that might interfere with your participation in camp activities. Therefore, we do not allow campers in HSMC to take online courses or participate in other programs, in person or online, during camp.
HSMC is an intensive multi-summer program for high school students. The goal of the program is to develop talented students of all socioeconomic backgrounds through immersive and in-depth experiences in a unique learning environment. Students develop important skills for future degrees and careers in math, science, engineering, and many other fields.

Returning Students
Second-year and third-year students work with research mentors on original research projects. Projects are typically created by the reseasrch mentors prior to camp. Students then select their top three choices of research projects. Students are assigned to research teams based on these choices.
