Programs for High School Students.
 AwesomeMath Summer Program
- A three-week camp, held at the University of Texas at Dallas, designed to hone middle and high school students' mathematical problem-solving skills up to the Olympiad level.
 Canada/USA
Mathcamp
- A five-week summer program for mathematically talented high school students. Camp location moves to a different university each year.
- California State Summer School for Mathematics and Science (COSMOS
- A residential academic experience for top high school students in mathematics and science. The COSMOS course clusters address topics not traditionally taught in high schools such as astronomy, aerospace engineering, biomedical sciences, computer science, wetlands ecology, ocean science, robotics, game theory, and more.
- Hampshire College Summer Studies in Mathematics
- This six-week summer program for mathematically talented high school students includes workshops led by college and university professors, then "maxi-courses" and "mini-courses" for in-depth studies of particular problems and fields.
- Inst.
for Advanced Study/Park City Mathematics Inst. (PCMI)
- PCMI integrates mathematics education with mathematics research at the highest
level, fostering interaction among its participants. It offers a three-week Summer
Session, a year-round High School Teacher Program, a Mentoring Program for
Women in Mathematics, a Lecture Publication Series, and a Continuing Outreach
Program.
- The Institute of Technology Center for Educational Programs (ITCEP)
- ITCEP administers the University of Minnesota Talented Youth Mathematics Program (UMTYMP), Saturday morning enrichment programs, and summer enrichment programs, which provide mathematically promising K-12 students with opportunities to learn and enjoy mathematics and introduce them to the role of mathematics in society through meeting and working with scientists, engineers, and mathematicians. Kids' University programs include MicroWorlds, Orienteering, Math in Motion, Geometric Art, Gear It Up, Numeric Patterns, Function Junction, Prove It! and Go Figure!
- Mathematics Advanced Study Semesters (MASS)
- Residential semesters at Penn State for rising juniors and seniors seeking advanced learning and initiation into research-level algebra, analysis, and geometry.
- (MS)2 - Math and Science for Minority Students
- Preparing economically disadvantaged students from primarily urban areas for possible careers in engineering, science, medicine, computer technology and other technical fields. The program is open to African-American and Latino/a students from public schools in Atlanta, Ga.; Baltimore, Md.; Boston, Mass.; Chicago, Ill.; Cleveland, Ohio; Fort Worth, Texas; Lawrence, Mass.; Louisville, Ky.; Memphis, Tenn.; New York, N.Y.; and Washington, D.C.
- Mathematics and Related Sciences (MARS) Camp
- This two-week residential, summer enrichment program provides an array of courses aimed at engaging high school and middle school students in mathematical and scientific problem solving using various innovative techniques. Through participation in any one of the courses, students better understand the role of mathematics and science in a society increasingly dependent on technology.
- MathPath
- MathPath offers middle school students who are extremely talented in mathematics the opportunity to learn and develop at a pace and to a depth that matches their abilities while also providing them the rich social and recreational experience of a residential summer camp.
- Michigan Math and Science Scholars (MMSS)
- Two-week sessions of 15-student classes taught by University of Michigan professors as well as other outstanding instructors from around the world.
- The Research Science Institute (RSI)
- Each summer, the Research Science Institute (RSI) runs a rigorous academic program that emphasizes advanced theory and research in mathematics, the sciences, and engineering. Students attend college-level classes taught by distinguished professors; nationally recognized teachers conduct classes designed to sharpen research skills. Students also complete hands-on research with top mentors at corporations, universities, and research organizations.
- The Ross Program
- The Ohio State University Department of Mathematics offers an intensive summer experience designed to encourage motivated pre-college students to explore mathematics, with the goals of instructing them in the art of mathematical thinking and inspiring them to discover for themselves that abstract ideas are valuable and important.
- SUMaC
- Stanford University Mathematics Camp - a residential summer camp for
mathematically talented high schoolers, especially students who are in
academic environments that do not offer the framework to excel in mathematics
beyond the usual school curriculum.
- Summer Days Math and Science Camp for Girls
- A one week session for students planning to enter 5th - 10th grades in the fall. Campers have different backgrounds and level of skill, but all share a common enthusiasm for math and science. Working alongside women scientists and mathematicians local to Maryland's Chespeake Bay area, students will pursue projects in areas such as archeology, and banking.
- SummerMath
- Introduced in 1982 by Mount Holyoke College, SummerMath is a four-week
program for girls in grades 8-12. It aims to strengthen mathematical thinking
and communications skills, develop problem-solving strategies and computer skills,
and build student confidence.
- UST Girls Experiencing Mathematics in the Summer (GEMS) Camp
- The week-long program at The University of St. Thomas includes enrichment mini-courses that introduce mathematics not commonly seen in the high school curriculum, a panel discussion with female mathematicians working at research and teaching institutions and in industry, and more.
- Young Scholars Program in Discrete Mathematics
at Rutgers
- A four-week residential program for high-school students from across the United
States, designed to encourage talented students to consider careers in the
mathematical sciences. Discrete mathematics is a new and growing area of the
mathematical sciences with many applications on the cutting edge of modern research.
The Rutgers Young Scholars Program is intended to develop and enhance
problem-solving abilities in applying mathematical concepts to a wide range of problems.
