2. The Research Science Institute (RSI): This program, held at MIT, is for talented high school students interested in math, science, and engineering. Although not solely focused on math, it offers an opportunity to engage in cutting-edge research and gain valuable experience at one of the world's most renowned tech institutes.

3. Program in Mathematics for Young Scientists (PROMYS): PROMYS, hosted at Boston University, is a six-week summer program that aims to encourage motivated high school students to explore the creative world of mathematics. Students work on challenging problems in number theory and related topics.

4. Canada/USA Mathematical Olympiad (CAMO / USAMO) Training Camp: A highly selective camp designed to train students for national and international math competitions like the International Mathematical Olympiad. Participating in this program can make you stand out as a top performer in mathematics.

5. Texas State Honors Summer Math Camp (HSMC): This camp is a six-week residential program at Texas State University which offers talented high school students the chance to improve their math skills through challenging coursework and independent research projects.

6. MathILy: MathILy, an intensive summer camp focused on proof-based mathematics, provides participants with a deep understanding of mathematical concepts and techniques. It's aimed at high school students who love math and want to explore new areas of mathematical thinking.

These are just a few examples, and there may be more local or regional programs available to you. For example, you can find a more extensive list on CollegeVine's blog: https://blog.collegevine.com/high-school-math-summer-programs. Some of these options can even be completed remotely, and thus offer maximum flexibility if travel isn't feasible for you.

Finally, make sure to research the application process, deadlines, and any associated costs for the programs that interest you. Some of these programs are highly competitive, so make sure you know what's required in the application process early, so that you can get started early. Good luck finding the right match for you!
