Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Education, Special Education
Mission: The organization's mission is to inspire and advance the most mathematically gifted middle school students in the u. S. , canada, and the world through an annual summer camp that is affordable for all qualified students.
Programs: Mathpath is a 4-week residential math program attended each summer by 105 highly gifted students from around the world. It changes location from year to year; in 2017 it was held at mt. Holyoke college, south hadley, massachusetts. Financial aid was awarded to 15 of those students. Each week each student took 2 math courses from 12 offered and each workday also attended 3 all-camp lectures. A problem of the day was posed each day to encourage the students to think "outside the box. " to give students a well-rounded experience, physical activities such as rock climbing and river tubing were offered in free time. The weekends were filled with trips to local sites depending on the location of the camp. Field trips included baseball games, museum outings and a puzzle room.
