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, Oxford, Princeton, Stanford, and many other universities!
Our academic programs are meticulously crafted to highlight the interconnection of various scientific disciplines. Campers have the opportunity to tackle complex Math equations, immerse themselves in lectures on theoretical Physics, engage in hands-on experiments, and venture into new realms within our Chemistry and Biology laboratories. Additionally, they can develop coding skills in Computer Science classes, navigate Engineering puzzles, or construct robots from scratch. Through these experiences, we aim to foster a deep understanding and appreciation for the vast possibilities within the fields of math, science, and technology.
“My son and I were looking forward to a week at SigmaCamp for the whole year. The impressions and ideas gathered at camp last the whole year and inspire learning and creativity.”
Every year, around 25 scientists from top US and international 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.
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.
Gifted and talented students come to SigmaCamp programs from not only all over the United States, but also from Canada, South America, and Europe. Upon arrival at the camp, students are assigned to a team of about 10 students with two or three counselors supervising the team.
SigmaCamp was built by a community of scientists who are passionate about extracurricular education to inspire students in STEM topics. Many of the former campers are now scientists with jobs in STEM or pursuing a PhD, and many of them come back to teach at SigmaCamp! Over the years, we have raised a new generation of young educators and scientists who run SigmaCamp today!
“SigmaCamp is one of the greatest experiences that I have ever had at any type of camp, or school for that matter! I loved the sense of community between people who had just met a few days earlier!”
Everything we do is only possible because of the help and support of Friends of Sigma. Learn more about our Friends of Sigma and how to become one of them.
