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!
This is an absolutely outstanding program!
I recommend it to everyone and am so grateful to be a part of SigmaCamp this summer! The community is one of a kind and the science is very hands-on.

Financial Aid
Our goal is to ensure that any qualified applicant can attend SigmaCamp or SigmaCamp Next, regardless of their financial situation. To this end, we offer need-based scholarships, with some reserved for underrepresented groups. Please fill out the form below to apply for one of these scholarships. Our admission is need-blind: Applying for a scholarship doesn't affect the chances of admission to SigmaCamp or SigmaCamp Next.
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)
"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.
