Online & In-Person Bootcamps
I do not currently have in-person bootcamps scheduled. Please see below for my recorded sessions.
Please note: Each individual recorded session is $10.
Challenge A, B, 1, and 2 Bootcamps for Parents, Students, and Directors. The Challenge 2 Bootcamp will not be director-specific, but will still help you prepare for the year by presenting grammar helps and tips/tricks for tailoring the material.
Videos will be released July 15 (2nd Semester videos will be released December 20).
You will have access to them all year.
For example, if you attend one session, the cost is $10. If you attend all three, the cost is $30.
If you and your child have to attend on different days, you only pay once.
Each individual session is $10 for unlimited access. I will record these sessions so that you can watch them at your convenience and revisit them through the year if you need to. There is a *lot* of information presented in these sessions! Classes run from between 45 minutes to 90 minutes depending on the material. Since they will be recorded and available online all year, you have the option of watching portions of videos at your own pace.
You do not need to have the class material with you at the time you watch the video, as I will display it and give you some options as to what is available for you to use. However, you will need at a minimum the purple First Year Latin or green Second Year Latin textbook and the blue Grammar book as well as some form of an answer key. All other materials are optional (but many are helpful).
