Summer Camp Opportunities for Aboriginal Students
The Mathematics Departments at UBC and SFU along with the Pacific Institute for the Mathematical Sciences (PIMS) are offering two summer camp opportunities for aboriginal students.
Both camps are free.
Transitional Summer Camp
This is for students transitioning from grade 7 to grade 8, the transition from elementary to high school. This five week summer camp will take place at Britannia Secondary. The main purpose of this camp is to help students to get ready for high school. Students will take 75 minutes instruction in math and English everyday in the morning and sport activities in the afternoon. The camp is free and the students will get $25 scholarship for good attendance and work ethics every week. There is more information in the attached registration form.
