Canada/USA Mathcamp is a five-week academic summer program for middle and high school students in mathematics.
[citation needed] The application process for new students includes an entrance exam (the "Qualifying Quiz"), personal essay, but no grade reports or letters of recommendation (although a reference, who may receive a few short answer questions, is still required).
Graduate student mentors teach most of the classes, while undergraduate junior counselors, all of them Mathcamp alumni, do most of the behind-the-scenes work.
Mathcamp has had a number of renowned guest speakers, including John Conway,[3] Avi Wigderson, and Serge Lang.
Foodtongue remains popular among campers, and was compiled into an online wiki, updated and referenced by speakers of the language.
