Summer Math Camp Activities

Math Camp Games and Activities for Kids

math camp ideas

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

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!

Use the sample schedule included, or create your own!

This is the schedule we used when we’ve done at home summer camps:

Arrival: Free exercise

Session 1: Lesson

Session 2: Activity

Session 3: Snack

Session 4: Craft

Session 5: Playtime

Feel free to modify the schedule and activities to fit the interests of your children.

About Brenda Priddy

Brenda grew up thinking she hated science.

But when her 4-year- old daughter was more interested in reading science facts than fairy tales, Brenda realized she had to learn more about science to keep up with her daughter.

Through simple at-home science experiments, Brenda developed a passion for science and now acts as an advocate for STEM education for kids at her website STEAMsational.com.
