Abstract
This chapter focuses on Montana Math Summer Circle, an informal mathematics learning program designed to support and meet the needs of rural students who are passionate about mathematics. The main goal of the summer math camp program is to provide students with the necessary knowledge and skills to excel in advanced mathematics and mathematics competitions, such as the American Mathematics Competition, in a setting away from the formal school environment. The math camp's curriculum encompasses both pure and applied mathematics. It offers a blend of formal academic and technical mathematics problems, as well as informal recreational and everyday mathematics activities. This thoughtful combination of mathematical rigor and joy in the summer camp program supports and improves both the intellectual and socio-economic development of students.
