Intensive Latin. Unforgettable Community.

Watch our video made during Camp 2025

 

Latin Camp brings together around 200 people of all ages and levels, to share in the joy of learning Latin, reading its literature and exploring the treasures of the Roman world. We are based in the beautiful British spa-town of Harrogate but we welcome people from all over the world.

We are here for anyone at any level, from complete beginners up to post A-Level standard and everyone in between. We have a lot of school and university students as well as aspirant teachers but there is no upper age limit so please do apply no matter what your circumstances. Usually our youngest students are age 15 but we will consider age 14. There is a limited bursary fund to help students with significant financial difficulties.

The classes, grammar clinics and talks are the backbone of what we offer but Latin Camp is so much more. It’s about prepping Latin with new friends in the sun; it’s about sharing the camaraderie of like-minded people in the houses; it’s about staff, students and speakers sharing their learning. It’s about the quiz, the trips, the play, the party,  joining a wider community of Classicists. It’s about making friends for life.
