The e-STEM Math Enrichment Camp is a seven-week mathematics enrichment program for students who have completed Grades 4 through 6. Grade 7 students may sign up for Grade 6 lessons to strengthen their foundational skills. The goal of this camp is to counter summer learning loss and bridge students to their next grade. Multiple sessions will be offered per week, and all lessons will be held through Zoom. Applicants will receive communication to choose their weekly lesson times.
