Mathematics plays a fundamental role in developing students' logical, analytical, critical, and problem-solving skills. However, many senior high school students perceive mathematics as difficult and uninteresting due to teacher-centered instruction that provides limited opportunities for active engagement and authentic learning experiences. This community service program aimed to enhance students' mathematical understanding through an Experiential Learning-based FunMath Camp conducted collaboratively by the Mathematics Study Program of the University of Mataram and Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM), Malaysia. The program was held over two days, 27–28 June 2026, at Gunung Jae Nature Tourism Park, West Lombok, involving 20 selected senior high school students from across Lombok Island. The activities followed four stages of Experiential Learning: concrete experience, reflective observation, abstract conceptualization, and active experimentation. Activities included interactive lectures, Treasure Map Games, a Mini Mathematics Quiz Competition, and collaborative outdoor learning. Program effectiveness was evaluated using pre-test and post-test scores. As the data were not normally distributed based on the Shapiro–Wilk test, the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test was employed. The results showed a statistically significant improvement in students' mathematical understanding, with the mean score increasing from 6.85 to 7.80 (p = 0.012). Although the average N-Gain score was 0.19 (low category), students demonstrated greater engagement, collaboration, and confidence in solving mathematical problems. These findings indicate that the Experiential Learning-based FunMath Camp provides an engaging and meaningful learning environment that supports mathematical understanding and active learning.
