LatinSummer at UMass


Introducing “LatinSummer at UMass,” a two-day summer enrichment program that provides students in grades 1-6 a unique chance to learn about Latin and the classical world! Creative and enthusiastic instructors will provide a wide array of exciting and hands-on activities that introduce students to many varied aspects of classical and conversational Latin, Greco-Roman mythology, and Roman culture and daily life. No prior knowledge of Latin or Classics is required.  
The popular LatinSummer programs have been offered many times over the past decade in locations across the nation. LatinSummer at UMass will run from 9:00 am – 3:30 pm during the weekend of June 1 – 2, 2013 on the campus of the University of Massachusetts Amherst. LatinSummer is sponsored by the nonprofit Ascanius: The Classics Youth Institute and the UMass Department of Classics. Registration fees range from $35-$110 per student depending on financial need. Registrations are accepted by mail or online through May 10. For more information and to register, please visit www.ascaniusyci.org/umass - this summer, let’s carpe diem and do as the Romans did!
