CMS Math Camps

T

he Canadian Mathematical Society (CMS) collaborates with universities across Canada to organize and host a series of math camps each year. Camps are designed to help students develop their mathematical knowledge in an engaging, challenging and -most importantly -fun atmosphere. CMS Math Camps are a great way for students to hone their mathematical skills, meet new friends and to experience math outside a typical classroom setting. Students who participate in CMS Math Camps leave the camp with a new outlook of mathematics and approach to problem solving. In 2014, a total of 27 camps were held across the country with over 1,000 students participating. Camps ranged from day camps to week-long overnight camps and included specialty camps such as the Queen’s Math Camp for Girls and the Dalhousie Math Camp for Black Students. Students and organzier feedback continued to be very positive and reflected in the high percentage of student interest in math, sciences and engineering. All camps are expected to continue in 2015. Thank you to the sponsors, universities, teachers, camp organizers, volunteers, parents and students that made the 2014 CMS Math Camps a success!
