A Typical Day at Mathcamp
There is almost no such thing as a typical day at Mathcamp! You create your own days. Mathcamp's schedule is packed with classes, activities, and everything else we can possibly fit in. In every class hour, there are lots of classes to choose from, with a variety of topics and levels of difficulty; every evening, there are lots of activities going on: sports, music, dancing, board games, and all the wacky and creative events that the staff and students can dream up. Everything on the schedule is optional: students choose what they want to do and when. We provide a framework in which you can learn a lot of math and have a lot of fun.
The Residential Mathcamp Calendar
At our residential program, the "week" runs from Tuesday through Saturday, and we reserve Sundays and Mondays for field trips (to avoid weekend crowds). Broadly, here's what happens during a residential Mathcamp week day:
| 8am–9am | Breakfast |
| 9am–Noon | Classes |
| Noon–1pm | Lunch |
| 1pm–2pm | Classes |
| 2pm–4pm | Time: Academic, Unscheduled (TAU) |
| 4pm–5pm | Colloquium |
| 5pm–6pm | Dinner |
| 6pm onwards | Evening Activities |
| 8pm–10pm | Sign-In |
On weekends, students relax, work on math (like Projects), and go on Field Trips.
