2025 Math Attack Summer Camp for Girls
The 2025 Math Attack Summer Camp for Girls will be held at the University of Calgary and the Banff International Research Station (BIRS) from Sunday, June 29 - Sunday, July 6, 2025. This 8-day overnight camp will bring 21 grades 7 - 10 girls together to engage in fun mathematical activities and build connections. Students will stay in the university residence for the first five nights of the camp and at the Banff Centre for the last two nights. The camp aims to encourage girls to pursue their passion for mathematics and make connections with peers who shared similar interests.

Additional Information:
The Math Attack Summer Camp for Girls also ran in 2022 and 2023. At the 2022 camp, students engaged in mathematical sessions that explored topics such as cryptology, data science, probability paradoxes, and actuarial science. They investigated the spread of disease by modelling a zombie outbreak, learned what you can do with a math degree at a Women in Math Panel, and competed in the Amazing (Math) Race. These sessions and panels exposed students to over 20 female role models, including recent high school graduates, undergraduate math students, graduate math students, mathematics faculty, and mathematicians in industry. During the camp, there was also plenty of time for friendship building and physical activity. Evening activities included sports, swimming, board games, karaoke, and a walk along Bow Falls Trail. On Friday, students also took some time to explore the town of Banff and hiked up Tunnel Mountain. The 2025 camp program will be very similar.
