A-Star Summer Math Program is a unique opportunity for interested and talented students to improve their math skills during summer season. Students are guided and trained by an expert faculty via utilizing national and international competitions in a fun and challenging environment. Lectures are given by A-Star Faculty and other instructors who have participation/training experience in national/international math competitions and Olympiads such as USA Math Olympiads (USAMO) and the International Math Olympiads (IMO).
Location: Orange County or Bay Area, California
Deadline: TBD
Areteem Summer Maths and Science Camp
The Areteem Camp focuses on nurturing the students’ genuine interest in mathematics and its STEM applications, and developing the true passion for exploring mathematics and related fields.
Although our students have very outstanding performance in math competitions, Areteem’s goal is far beyond a good score in those tests.
Consisting of highly acclaimed mathematicians, professors, and math Olympiad winners and coaches, Areteem faculty truly believe in using a systematic approach to train students’ logical thinking, analytical and problem solving skills; this training will take the students much farther than an outstanding performance in math competitions.
Location: In 2016 camps were held at UCLA; Bentley University, MA; Georgetown University, DC;
San Diego
Deadline: TBD
PROMYS: Program in Mathematics for Young Scientists
PROMYS is a six-week summer program at Boston University designed to encourage strongly motivated high school students to explore in depth the creative world of mathematics in a supportive community of peers, counselors, research mathematicians, and visiting scientists.
Each year, PROMYS and the Clay Mathematics Institute (CMI) offer advanced seminars for returning PROMYS students. Returning students also engage in original research under the mentorship of professional mathematicians. Counselors and returning students will also organize their own seminars.
Location: Boston
Deadline: Applications open in Jan 2017
Canada/USA Mathcamp is an intensive 5-week-long summer program for mathematically talented high school students, designed to expose these students to the beauty of advanced mathematical ideas and to new ways of thinking. More than just a summer camp, Mathcamp is a vibrant community, made up of a wide variety of people who share a common love of learning and passion for mathematics. At Mathcamp, students can explore undergraduate and even graduate-level topics while building problem-solving skills that will help them in any field they choose to study.
Deadline: Further information provided in Feb 15 , 2017
Location: University of Puget Sound in Tacoma, Washington
Ross Mathematics Program at the Ohio State University
The central goal of the Ross Program has always been to instruct bright young students in the art of mathematical thinking and to inspire them to discover for themselves that abstract ideas are valuable and important. First year participants take the basic course in number theory. For most students, this is the first time they are asked to consider entirely new questions, to develop methods that they have not seen before, and to justify every answer.
Deadline: April 1, 2017

Hampshire College Summer Studies in Mathematics
HCSSiM is an intensive six-week encounter with college-level mathematics for talented and highly motivated high school students. It is demanding and expanding. Participants spend a major portion of each day actively engaged in doing mathematics (not simply learning the results of mathematics).
Location: Massachusetts
Deadline: TBD
International Summer School for Young Physicists
The ISSYP is an exciting and challenging two-week program for Canadian and international high school students who have a keen interest in theoretical physics and intend to pursue physics studies at the university level.
Location: Waterloo, ON Canada
Deadline: March 31, 2017
Physics of Atomic Nuclei (PAN)
A free residential summer camp for high school students (both sites) and science teachers (MSU only).
PAN is an outreach program at two world leading nuclear physics laboratories: Nuclear Science Laboratory located on the campus of the University of Notre Dame and the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory located on the campus of Michigan State University. It is sponsored by the Joint Institute for Nuclear Astrophysics - Center for the Evolution of the Elements (JINA-CEE) and taught by NSL and NSCL faculty and staff. We welcome U.S. students who have completed at least one year of high school and science teachers (primarily high school physics or chemistry, though others have found the program useful). The program introduces participants to the fundamentals of the extremely small domain of atomic nuclei and its connection to the extremely large domain of astrophysics and cosmology.
Location: Michigan State University, East Lansing Michigan or Notre Dame University, Notre Dame, Indiana
Deadline: TBD
Penn Summer Science Academy - Experimental Physics Research Academy
The program is set up to allow students time to become familiar with all the hardware they use and to actually assemble and test some of it themselves. The goal is for students not just to leave the lab with data, but also to understand that data and know how reliable it is. Throughout the program, cooperative work and communication is emphasized. Lab groups change each week, and in the last week, lab groups present their reports orally to the entire program. Field trips to an amusement park, the Franklin Institute, and other local museums will supplement the regular schedule. We also tour Penn's research labs, and hear from current researchers about their work. The program closes with a presentation of incredible physics demonstrations by our director, Bill Berner.
Program staff includes multiple members from Penn's Department of Physics and Astronomy, a student teaching assistant, and outstanding physics teachers from local high schools.
