Math Olympiad & Science Bowl Camp
2026
2026
The Mathematical Olympiads for Elementary and Middle School (MOEMS) was established in 1979 with the express purpose of teaching strategies for novel problem solving, developing flexible thinking skills, as well as fostering and encouraging mathematical creativity and inventiveness.
With these principles in mind, we have designed an immersive math and problem-solving experience for students entering grades 4, 5, and 6, designed to push thinking and extend mathematical prowess, as well as opportunities to engage in mock Math Olympiad Contests.

Science Bowl is a fast-paced, Jeopardy-style science competition where students work in teams to answer exciting questions in biology, chemistry, physics, Earth science, and math. This camp will help students build scientific knowledge, sharpen quick-thinking skills, and practice real Science Bowl strategies through interactive lessons, hands-on activities, and fun competitions. Whether you are new to Science Bowl or preparing for competition, this camp is a great way to grow your confidence and love of science.
