Adventures in Math
July 20th through 22nd, 2027
For any student in 4th through 6th grade. Our two public middle school programs: Girls Excel in Math and Adventures in Math are for students in 4th through 6th grade. Students will participate in hands-on experiments and interactive activities led by instructors and university student mentors from the University of Minnesota. We encourage students to explore mathematics from different perspectives with engaging activities. We cover topics that fall outside the traditional school curriculum so students will learn new, real life applications of mathematics. These two courses share the same curriculum; we advise against enrolling in both courses during the same year.

Girls Excel in Math
July 27th through 29th, 2027
For any student including girl-identified students, transgender girls, and nonbinary students in 4th through 6th grade. Our two public middle school programs: Girls Excel in Math and Adventures in Math are for students in 4th through 6th grade. Students will participate in hands-on experiments and interactive activities led by instructors and university student mentors from the University of Minnesota.

Math Modeling Camp
2027 Dates TBD
How is math used to solve important problems facing our world today? Mathematical models help us to study the effects of traffic on a bridge, predict trends in population and disease, or estimate the climate’s impact on natural resources. Collaborate with other students to create mathematical models in this high school camp.
Students should currently be enrolled in high school and have completed a year-long course in single variable calculus by the end of the 2026-2027 school year. High school seniors who will have graduated by July are still eligible!

UMTYMP Summer Camp
2027 Dates TBD
For UMTYMP students who have completed Algebra II or Precalculus in the spring 2027 semester. Instead of acceleration, our summer camp for UMTYMP students focuses on enrichment, and gives our instructors a chance to share their favorite mathematics with UMTYMP students.
Link sent to UMTYMP students directly. If you are an UMTYMP student interested in UMTYMP summer camp and have not received registration information, please reach out to [email protected].
