SUMMER SEMINAR offers hands-on training in a line-up of classes to

suit virtually every collectors hobby needs.

While the majority of students are adults, more than 40 young numisma-

tists ages 13-17 grace Summer Seminar each year, bringing youthful

enthusiasm and new perspectives to classes. Over the years, many of these

YNs have become hobby leaders, and many of Summer Seminars veterans

have played a key role in encouraging their success. YNs stay in a Colorado

College dormitory with counselor supervision. During the week, YNs have

the same opportunities as adult students. They attend class during the day

and can take mini-seminars or tours in the evening. YNs also organize and

conduct a benefit auction, with all proceeds directly benefiting the YN

Summer Seminar Scholarship Fund, which helps dozens of YNs attend the

best educational event in numismatics every year.
