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,
