I think if your daughter mentions “Honors Summer Math Camp” and the web address

[Honors Summer Math Camp : Texas Mathworks : Texas State University](http://www.txstate.edu/mathworks/camps/hsmc.html)

in her application that college admission officers will know to refer the question to the math department if they wonder how special that program is. Most admission officers are humanities people; at all of the better colleges, math professors advise the admissions committee about the admission of math-liking students.
