Update: As of 4/18/2025, Camp Conway and Camp Sierpinski still have some space available and continue to accept applications on a rolling basis. We will update here when that is no longer the case. For the latest infromation on C&!, please see their website.
This application will allow you to be considered for C&! (Campersand), Conway, and Sierpinski. Conway & Sierpinski are both part of National Math Camps (NMC).
To start your application, your parent/guardian (or another adult with your parent/guardian's permission) should click "Create an Account". If multiple siblings are applying, only one account is necessary - once you complete the main application for one applicant, you'll be able to add another submission.
