CMS Regional Camp

Each summer, Canadian Mathematical Society (CMS) Regional Math Camps provide junior high school students with an interest in mathematics with a unique and unforgettable enrichment experience. Students who attend the camps leave with new friends, new ideas, and a new outlook on mathematics. Advanced math concepts are presented in a manner that is challenging yet still accessible. CMS Regional Math Camps allow students to experience math as never before through games, projects, experiments, and other fun activities. The camps also highlight the role of mathematics in everyday life. CMS Regional Math Camps are hosted across Canada. In Alberta, a CMS Regional Math Camp is hosted in alternate years by the University of Alberta (even years) and the University of Calgary (odd years).

The Girls Active in Mathematics in Alberta (GAMMA) Summer Camp is a day camp serving students in grades 6-9 who identify as girls (or non-binary). This math enrichment camp is aimed to encourage girls to pursue their passion for mathematics and make connections with peers who share similar interests. The camp will feature hands-on, interactive activities led by female mathematicians, inviting students to explore a wide range of fascinating and surprising areas of mathematics.

The camp runs Aug 5 to Aug 7, 2026 from 8:30am-3:30pm on the University of Alberta campus. You can register on the departmental marketplace.
