The Canadian Mathematical Society is proud to offer two unique weeks of math camp designed to spark curiosity and build lasting friendships. In week one, campers will explore the world of probability, financial literacy, and strategic puzzles.
Week two focuses on the building blocks of math and technology, where students explore numbers and shapes through algebra, patterns, and geometry. This year, we have enhanced our curriculum to include coding logic, allowing campers to use sequences and debugging to solve problems and understand mathematical concepts in a whole new way.
As the national voice of mathematics in Canada, the Canadian Mathematical Society (CMS) has been offering engaging camps all across Canada for decades. The goal of the CMS, a non-profit organization, is to promote and advance the discovery, learning and application of mathematics.
We wish to create an environment for children to develop a passion for mathematics through exciting mathematical challenges with positive role models while building new friendships. This camp curriculum was exclusively created by the Canadian Mathematical Society. This camp is open for anyone who wishes to attend!
There will be 4 groups available:
Penny Patrol: Math Adventures - English - Ages 6-7 (2 classes available)
In this class, students will become confident in their math skills through the use of manipulatives, games, and creative play. Each session begins with engaging math stories that spark curiosity and discussion. By collaborating with peers, students will practice everything from basic arithmetic, probability, and solving exciting puzzles, navigating mazes, and cracking secret codes.
We will also explore early financial literacy in a way that feels like an adventure! Students will learn the value of money, while “Bank Account” games show them the magic of how interest helps their savings grow. Students will even dive into probability by learning about chance and likelihood through exciting games of strategy. Each day concludes with a camp favorite: our high-energy competition questions, where teamwork and quick thinking take center stage!
Patrouille des sous : Aventures mathématiques - Bilingue - 6-7 ans
Dans ce camp, les élèves gagneront en confiance dans leurs compétences mathématiques grâce à l’utilisation de matériel pédagogique, de jeux et d’activités ludiques créatives. Chaque session commence par des histoires mathématiques captivantes qui suscitent la curiosité et la discussion. En collaborant avec leurs camarades, les élèves mettront en pratique les opérations arithmétiques de base et les probabilités, ainsi que la résolution d’énigmes passionnantes, la navigation dans des labyrinthes et le déchiffrage de codes secrets.
Nous explorerons également les notions financières de base de manière ludique, comme s’il s’agissait d’une aventure ! Les élèves apprendront la valeur de l’argent, tandis que des jeux de « compte bancaire » leur montreront la magie des intérêts qui font fructifier leurs économies. Les élèves se plongeront même dans les probabilités en apprenant le hasard et la probabilité à travers des jeux de stratégie passionnants. Chaque journée se termine par l’une des activités préférées du camp : nos questions de concours très dynamiques, où le travail d’équipe et la rapidité d’esprit sont à l’honneur !
Money Magic: Math Adventures - English - Ages 8-9
In this class, students transform math from a school subject into a powerful tool for solving mysteries and building businesses! Each session begins with Math Mysteries: engaging stories and puzzles that challenge students to use logic and strategy to solve complex problems. By collaborating with a team, students will tackle advanced arithmetic, explore logic and probability and crack ciphers.
We will pull back the curtain on the adult world to see how “big purchases” like houses work by exploring loans and interest. Students will play strategy games that teach the difference between a risky gamble and a smart investment, and discover compound interest – the “mathematical superpower” of the banking world. The day wraps up with our legendary competition questions, where students put their mental math and teamwork to the ultimate test!
Bank-It! Math & Money Camp: Math Adventures - English - Ages 10-11
This class is for students who are mastering their current math skills and looking to jump ahead to the next level. If you are interested in refining your understanding of math and ready to learn the concepts coming up in the next school year, this is the class for you! Delve deeper into these concepts to solve intricate riddles and develop critical thinking skills.
Investigate probability through simulations, data analysis, and real world applications. Learn about independent and dependent events, conditional probability and chance. Did someone say game theory? Explore the strategic aspects of probability in games like chess, checkers and card games. Develop decision making skills and learn to optimize your chances of success. Use programming tools to simulate probability experiments and explore complex scenarios. Beyond the board, we will apply these decision-making skills to the world of finance – exploring how compound interest acts as a “wealth engine” and simulating purchases to understand the math of loans and interest.

Summer Day Camps will take place at Carleton University in the classrooms. All groups will be in the same building. The location will be sent out by email to each group before the camp begins. Campers will be in the classroom most of the day and will go outside for fresh air breaks. The days will be filled with amazing math games, activities, and fun.
All camps are $395 per week. Included in the price, all campers receive:
- Their very own t-shirt
- A pizza lunch on Friday! (Vegan/Vegetarian Pizza Available)
- Nut-free snacks provided by CMS
