Areteem is looking for knowledgeable and passionate math educators for our 3 week residential summer camps held at UC San Diego focusing on building a strong conceptual foundation and advanced problem solving. Many students attend the camp to improve their skills and to be better prepared for math competitions. 2025 Dates for the camp at UC San Diego are July 20th - Aug. 8th . Note: Areteem is not affiliated with the University and the use of University facilities and/or property does not constitute or imply the endorsement or support of Areteem by the University.

The camp is a mix of "day campers" who commute each class day and "residential campers" who stay in the dorms the three weeks. A mix of instructors and counselors stay on campus with the students during the camp for supervision. Classes are held Sunday - Thursday (5 days a week) with most Fridays and Saturdays off for instructors. Instructors have the opportunity to reside at the camp, but instructors local to the camp area can commute each day.

At the camp students are divided into groups (middle school, early high school, etc.) based on their mathematical levels. Math subjects include Algebra, Geometry, Combinatorics, and Number Theory, plus some additional one-off topics. Classes are typically held for 3 hours each morning and 3 hours each afternoon, with additional seminars and office hours in the evening for students.

Instructors should be able to commit to a full 3 week camp.
