CMS/UPEI Math Camp
UPEI Math Camp is held in early May each year, bringing together some of PEI's top high school students for a weekend of mathematically-oriented education and entertainment. Students participate in group problem solving, math relays, math trivia, a career information session, and sessions with faculty. Hopefully, students leave with a broader view of mathematics, in both its intrinsic beauty and its practical utility, and with motivation to continue their math studies in the future.

The integration challenge, modelled on an annual version at MIT, is a one-night event where first-year calculus students sign up to compete head-to-head solving integrals. The competition will run like a tournament in single-knockout format, and integration problems increase in difficulty through each round. Information about mathematics as a choice of major, and research opportunities are also planned at the event. Prizes and certificates are awarded to the top 3 finishers.
