Western Summer Math Camp - Summer 2025

For many years, the Department of Mathematics at Western University has been running a Math Camp as part of the Canadian Mathematical Society  Math Camp Program.  This camp allows students to take part in different hands-on activities, attend math talks delivered by members of the math department, and attend group and individual problem-solving competitions. The Western Math Camps provide students with an opportunity to enhance their mathematical knowledge, be exposed to new mathematics, and meet members of our department as well as new friends who share the same interest in mathematics.

The 2025 Western Summer Math Camp will operate in-person at the Western University campus. Our camps for each grade will run for five days.

β-Camp (Beta Camp) July 21-25, 2025. This camp is designed for students who will complete grade 8 in the school year 2024-25

Math Camp Summer 2025 Registration Form

Indigenous Students' B ursary (ISB) for Western Math Camp: To encourage and increase Indigenous student attendance in the camps we initiated an Indigenous students bursary this year. The bursary will cover the registration fee (250CDN+tax) for up to three indigenous students in each camp (10 percent of the camp attendance). The students will be chosen based on their application through the following link.

"The virtual CMS Math Camp was a wonderful experience, and I learned things that I will never forget! I thank everyone involved in the Math Camp for making it as good as it was. Doing things online isn't easy, but this year's camp was amazing."

"Overall, I had a lot of fun at this Math Camp even though it was virtual. I loved the talks and the challenges especially the cryptography challenges."

"Thank you so much for this opportunity! I had a lot of fun and learned about so many new concepts. This camp gave me a more broad understanding of math and how it is used in different professions."

"I liked doing the cryptography the night before and then meeting with our groups the next day, I also enjoyed the morning mystery."

"I loved the presentations/talks from all of the presenters. I learnt something new almost every hour, and built on my previous knowledge from their talks."
