SigmaCamp 2013
SigmaCamp 2013 is an overnight Science and Math camp for children age 12 to 15. SigmaCamp will take place from June 22 to June 29 at Quinipet Camp and Retreat Center located on Shelter Island, Long Island, NY. This place is the perfect combination of an idyllic strip of waterfront land with exceptional living and study facilities.
As a student at SigmaCamp you will spend the last week of June with other talented campers, who like yourself are interested in learning about the exciting puzzles and mysteries of the World around you. You will be guided by college students from top US Universities and taught by leading professors and scientists from Stony Brook University, Brookhaven National Lab and Harvard Medical School. Your days will be filled with discussions of the most exciting topics in contemporary science, hands-on experiments, debates, and educational games. And, of course, summer being summer, you will also be able to participate in many other activities such as sports, art and music.
