A-Star Summer Math Camp has summer programs in two locations, Orange County (UC Irvine) and Bay Area (Santa Clara). The program consists of two 2-week long sessions, of which students can participate in either or both. The first session starts in late June and the second session ends in late July. The Orange County location has both a residential and a day program, and the Bay Area location has a day program only.
