"The mind is not a vessel to be filled, but a fire to be kindled" ~ Plutarch
Our original residential science summer camp for gifted middle and high school students, that we have run for 13 years. Its program includes advanced math and science topics.
Our new overnight summer camp was created for talented high school students. Its program is research-focused and has a more advanced academic curriculum.
The upcoming summer camp specially created for middle and high school students of the west coast. Its program will include advanced math and science topics. Stay tuned!
Our goal is to ensure that every qualified applicant can attend our camps regardless of financial circumstances. Admission to our programs is need-blind—applying for financial aid has no impact on admission decisions.
"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."
SigmaCamp, SigmaNext, and SigmaWest 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!
"Campers have developed friendships that last during the school year. Starting in October, they start already to plan their SigmaCamp for the next summer."
We are now accepting applications for Junior Counselors (JCs) to join our staff at SigmaWest (June 21–28, 2026) and SigmaCamp (August 1–8, 2026).
...Information about the inaugural SigmaWest camp in California next June has been posted here.
"Problem of the Month” (POM) is a free online competition in six different subjects that is open to everyone, 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 or SigmaWest without solving the Qualification Quiz (QQ), and will be awarded during the camp.
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.
