What is Math Camp?
Math Camp is a social happening! Similar to a sports camp, we have teams and each team has an ASU student as a coach. We have hands-on activities, graphing calculators, computers, competitions, group interaction, prizes, snacks, fire-side chats (without the fire) and magic tricks that introduce algebra word problems. Also, real world problems will answer the question, "What is math good for?"Where is it?
Located on the 3rd floor of Walker Hall on the campus of Appalachian State University on the corner of Rivers Street and Bodenheimer Drive.
What time is it?
Please note this is a Day Camp. On Monday, July 7th, 2008, parents and participants should arrive between 4:30 and 5:30 pm to register, and all stay for a meeting at 5:30 to answer questions and discuss procedures. Students check in every evening by 6:00 pm and check out at 9:00 pm promptly all four nights. For any student not checked in by 6:05, a follow-up call will be made to parents.
