Applications are now open for Bard College’s 2026 Creative and Analytical Math Program (CAMP), a unique summer academic enrichment program designed for middle school students with a passion for mathematics. Each year, a mathematical theme is explored through mathematics, computer science, and art, allowing students to work in all three areas to receive a well-rounded and enriching experience. This acclaimed program, recognized by the American Mathematical Society with Epsilon Awards, will take place from August 3–7 on Bard’s Annandale campus. It differs from a traditional camp by offering an immersive and intellectually stimulating environment where students from grades 5 through 8 can explore mathematics through creative and engaging activities. Through exposure to topics outside the standard curriculum, the program focuses on developing students' mathematical thinking and problem solving ability.
“We’re excited to welcome another group of enthusiastic young mathematicians to Bard College,” said Japheth Wood, associate professor of Mathematics at Bard and codirector of CAMP. “The Bard Math CAMP is designed to ignite curiosity and deepen students’ understanding of mathematics in a fun and creative way. We believe that math is not just about numbers; it’s about problem-solving, critical thinking, and exploring the beauty of abstract concepts.”
Founded in 2014 with support from the Dolciani Math Enrichment Grant Program, CAMP has become a beloved summer tradition for young math enthusiasts throughout the Mid-Hudson Valley and beyond. To apply, please visit bardmathcircle.org/camp/camp-more-information/
