Where? Bard College, Annandale-on-Hudson.

Who? Mid-Hudson Valley students entering 7th and 8th grade in September 2014 are encouraged to apply. We have spots for 20 students.  If you’re interested in applying we suggest that you do so early!

Tuition? $150 and scholarships are available. 

Why come to the BMC Summer Camp? Join us to explore hands-on-math projects, solve brain-teasing puzzles, learn groundbreaking math you haven’t been exposed to in school, meet friends who share your interests, and most importantly to have fun!


What will an average day at Camp look like?  Each day features math in many different forms. Formal classes include Problem Solving, Proofs and Investigations, and Computer Programming. Students will also enjoy lots of Logic Puzzles, Math Games, a Hands-on Math & Art Project, and a team-based Contest Style Math Meet. There will also be a brief athletics module before lunch.

Japheth Wood

I’m Japheth Wood (he/him), the Bard Math CAMP co-director, and a math professor at Bard College. CAMP (which is an acronym for Creative and Analytical Math Program) is a very special week of the year for our young math community. It's inspiring to see our students return year after year. This is our 11th summer of CAMP! We're back once again on the idyllic Bard College campus in Annandale-on-Hudson, and thankful to the CAMP students, parents, and staff, for making this mathemagical week happen. Notably, we've (finally) had our first CAMP reunion this past June, an event that I know will grow to be an integral part of what we do.

Frances Stern

My name is Frances Stern (she/her/hers)! I’ve been teaching math at CAMP since the first year, making sure our math theme has a connection to art and computer. It’s fun to show students math that they don’t see in school. I've retired from daily teaching but continue to teach for the New York Math Circle & students who are seeking more math in their lives. My hobbies include learning to draw, paint, & juggle, reading, walking & folk dancing. I’ve written 2 books for teachers and parents called “Adding Math, Subtracting Tension” (for different age-ranges of children). They pay as much attention to how to keep out of a fight (what many parents told me is a problem) as they do to math.
