Mathnasium offers summer programs for students of all ages and skill levels. Math camps are a great way to keep the summer slump from happening and are all about helping our students get ready for what lies ahead. For some students that means a comprehensive review of previous material; for others that may mean a preview of what will be coming next year. We provide Jump Start Workouts, Intensive Review, High School Math Prep, and the Early Learners/First Steps programs.

Since 1995, our summer day camps have offered creative play, exploration and adventure, as children work together in small groups gaining nature awareness and experiential knowledge of plants, mammals, tracking, birds and survival skills. Our highly trained instructors guide students into experiences that nurture their connection to the earth and allow them to feel at home in nature. Fun and adventure are only part of the story. Our 1:8 staff-student ratio allows our instructors at our summer day camps to facilitate the development of tangible and intangible skills like teamwork and communication; thankfulness; awareness; patience; common sense; self confidence; problem-solving; and respect for self, each other and nature. These skills are woven invisibly into each of our summer day camps through storytelling, active questioning and engaging nature activities. For example, campers might learn patience through the need to get close to wildlife, or teamwork and communication through the need to quickly build a group shelter. Our focus is on helping children to build skills that will serve them for a lifetime.  Camps take place in Bellevue, Kirkland, Seattle and Carnation. See website for camp schedule.
