Summer Math Camp Activities

Use these math camp activities to make your very own DIY math summer camp! This math camp is designed for kids between third and fifth grade, but you can also adapt it to work for slightly older or younger kids.
Math is a lot more fun when you learn it at scamp, and when you get to eat it.
Math Summer Camp Games and Activities for Kids

Whatever the ages of the children at your math camp, the goal is to make math fun and exciting, rather than just the same bland math activities they may be used to at home.
While you will be going over math concepts to strengthen their math skills, you also want to include some fun hands-on math activities as well.
Think creatively and outside the box when planning your math summer camp for kids. The more art and color you can use for some math exercises, the better.
Do as many math challenges using the body or going outside to do math in a 3D environment.
These summer camp ideas for teachers and parents include fun math activities that will make your kids summer math camp enjoyable as well as educational.
And a big part of any summer camp is snacks, so I’ve also included a fun math-themed snack for each day of the camp!
Sample Schedule for Math Camp for Elementary Students

Your camp can either run for half a day, or a full day, depending on your availability. These camp samples are ideal for a five-hour camp taking place one day a week for five days. You can also have math camp once a week for each week in the summer, if you don’t want the intensity of a five-day camp.
Use the activities however they work for you, just remember to keep things fun!
