Areteem is looking for knowledgeable and passionate math educators for our 3 week residential summer camps focusing on building a strong conceptual foundation and advanced problem solving. Many students attend the camp to improve their skills and to be better prepared for math competitions. Dates are June 23rd - July 12th held at Boston University and July 21st - Aug. 9th held at UC San Diego. Note: Areteem is not affiliated with either University and the use of University facilities and/or property does not constitute or imply the endorsement or support of Areteem the University.

The camp is a mix of "day campers" who commute each class day and "residential campers" who stay in the dorms the three weeks. A mix of instructors and counselors stay on campus with the students during the camp for supervision. Classes are held Sunday - Thursday (5 days a week) with most Fridays and Saturdays off for instructors. Instructors have the opportunity to reside at the camp, but instructors local to the camp area can commute each day.

At the camp students are divided into groups (middle school, early high school, etc.) based on their mathematical levels. Math subjects include Algebra, Geometry, Combinatorics, and Number Theory, plus some additional one-off topics. Classes are typically held for 3 hours each morning and 3 hours each afternoon, with additional seminars and office hours in the evening for students.

Camps will be held on location in La Jolla (north San Diego), CA and in Boston, MA. Instructors should be able to commit to a full 3 week camp.
