HCSSiM Program Activities
There are lots of things we do that aren't mathematics. For example, if you come to HCSSiM, you'll hike this entire mountain range:
We also take a trip to Boston,
frequently attend a performance of the Hampshire Shakespeare Company, and often travel to Tanglewood to hear an orchestral concert.

Students organize lots of activities: in recent years, these have included bocce tournaments, month-long Risk or Diplomacy games, puzzle hunts, water polo games, tutorials in Settlers of Catan or D&D, cheese sampling, dance parties... everyone participates in the production of the weekly Program Journal.

(hi, Neve!) ...and these at sarah-marie's house.
Students have a talent show:
Sometimes they construct objects from Zometool...
...or make polyhedra from string.
And what summer program would be complete without the occasional trip for ice cream?
