SigmaCamp 2022: Overview
SigmaCamp is a residential science summer program for students aged 12-16. SigmaCamp 2022 took place on August 14-21, 2022. That year, we returned to Silver Lake Camp and Conference Center in Sharon, Connecticut - in person!
At SigmaCamp, students spend a week with other talented campers who are interested in learning about the exciting puzzles and mysteries of the world around them. They are guided by college and graduate students from top US universities and taught by leading professors and scientists from Stony Brook University, Brookhaven National Lab, Yale, Stanford, and MIT. The days are filled with discussions of the most exciting topics in contemporary science, hands-on experiments, debates, and educational games.
Academic program
SigmaCamp is a multidisciplinary program that covers topics in advanced Math, Computer Science, theoretical and experimental Physics, Biology, Chemistry, Engineering, and robotics. Starting with the first Semilab and a Lecture in the morning, followed by the second Semilab in the afternoon, and a variety of Workshops in the evening, a camper’s day is filled with a lot of new knowledge and discoveries.
Faculty at SigmaCamp 2022
Every year, around 25 scientists from top U.S. Universities and Research Centers come to our summer camps to share their knowledge and passion for math and science with campers. Several guest speakers visit the camp daily as part of our Guest Lectures Program.
Counselors at SigmaCamp 2022
Spans from high school students to those in college as well as graduate-level students. Many of our counselors are alumni who have chosen to return as volunteers, bringing with them a unique understanding and appreciation of the camp experience.
