Winter Booster Camps
Winter 2023 Camps
Winter Camp
/win-tɘr kamp/
- : A great time to practice before the official exams.
- : A traditional review time for top performers.
- : A popular time to take Problem Solving courses.
- : A Star League academic term.
Dedicated students can achieve a lot during a portion of their winter break. Winter camps provide intensive and distraction free learning before the official exams.
Academic competitions require serious study. It's hard to allocate sufficient time to properly adress the needs of such rigorous learning during the school year.

The daily schedule of camp courses' is as follows. Consult with each course detail page for variations regarding the content of each class period. There is break time in between periods.

Period 3 | 11:45am | 1:15pm |
Period 4 | 1:30pm | 3:00pm |
Math courses include lectures in four subjects every day: Algebra, Geometry. Combinatorics, and Number Theory. In each class there is a brief theory lecture led by a problem solving discussion. A typical ordering, subject to change, will look like the following.
Subject | Period |
---|---|
Algebra | 1 |
Number Theory | 2 |
Lunch | |
Combinatorics | 3 |
Geometry | 4 |
Computer Science (USACO) camps dedicate half of the periods to lectures and the other half to hands on implementation and coding practice. During the Implementation and Practice time students may interact freely with their instructors regarding their questions or codes related to the topic.
Subject | Period |
---|---|
Lecture | 1 |
Practice | 2 |
Lunch | |
Lecture | 3 |
Practice | 4 |
In the Physics camp, the structure of periods will vary slightly from course to course. There is more theory, therefore more lectures, in introductory level courses. As courses advance there is more problem solving discussion. A typical schedule may look like the following.
Subject | Period |
---|---|
Lecture | 1 |
Lecture | 2 |
Lunch | |
Problem Solving | 3 |
Practice | 4 |
STAR LEAGUE
We only employ qualified and experienced teachers. Most of them are participants and champions of the target competitions of their subjects worldwide.
Our curriculum is kept up to date by world champions to withstand the rigor of target competitions. The coursework presents all that is needed and more.
We keep our instructor/student ratio at about one to tewelve. If student number is more than 12, a second instructor is added up to a max of eighteen students
Most of our teachers are not only subject matter expert but also experienced academic competition coaches. They will answer your guidance questions too.
Since early last decade, we have been running summer camps across the country mainly in the West Coast but also in Boston and New York too!
Withiut practice, learning new and intensive material can be unrewarding. Our summer camp daily programs include interactive practice time led by student interest and needs.
We provide early access to the camp coursework so students can start studying in advance. That way, student's interaction with teacher will be optimized.
We are experts in online learning. We started out in 2015 ,and have been continually improving our technology and practices to meet the needs of our students.
