Explore the rich and fascinating worlds of ancient Greece and the Roman Empire in this Classics Camp on the UW-Madison campus. Through interactive activities, students will learn about everyday life in ancient Greece and Rome, including myth, history, drama, art and architecture, clothing, and food. Students will also learn a bit of Ancient Greek and Latin (don't worry, it's not that hard!) and find out about their roots in the English language we speak today (impress your friends and family when you write their names in ancient Greek!). Students also explore how classical civilizations of ancient Greece and Roman are foundational points of reference for modern fiction like J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter and Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson.

Optional language immersion activities are available for high school students with special interest in Ancient Greek and Latin.
