What is SigmaCamp?
SigmaCamp and SigmaCamp Next are one-week sleepaway math and science summer camps. Our programs offer middle and high school students (ages 12 to 17) a unique opportunity to dive deeper into STEM topics with professors and researchers from MIT, Yale, Stony Brook University, Princeton, Stanford and many other universities!
Financial Aid
Our goal is to ensure that every qualified applicant can attend SigmaCamp or SigmaCamp Next, regardless of financial circumstances. Admission to our programs is need-blind—applying for financial aid has no impact on admission decisions.
"Campers have developed friendships that last during the school year. Starting in October, they start already to plan their SigmaCamp for the next summer."
"Problem of the Month” (POM) is a free online competition in six different subjects that is open to everyone who is in 10th grade or younger, regardless of what state or country they live in. The goal of the POM contest is to stimulate inquisitive minds and cultivate interest in science and math.
Winners of the POM will get prizes, will be accepted to SigmaCamp without solving Qualification Quiz (QQ) and will be awarded during the camp.
Thanks to our Supporters
SigmaCamp would not be possible without the help of our supporters. Their generosity allows us to buy new supplies for the experiments we do with students, provide fellowships for students who otherwise would not be able to attend SigmaCamp, and make SigmaCamp better in many other ways.
