The American Philatelic Summer Seminar is unique in the hobby, offering instruction in specific philatelic areas through a combination of lectures and hands-on workshops.

In its 31st year, many students return year after year, to learn more about the hobby and for the social benefits.

Hosted at the American Philatelic Center in Bellefonte, Pennsylvania, the 2010 Summer Seminar begins with a Sunday evening reception. The remainder of the seminar week, Monday–Thursday, features 4½ hours daily of class time, PLUS afternoon elective workshops, a student auction and two dinners. You’ll finish off the week on Friday at a breakfast session with the staff of the American Philatelic Center, and one last opportunity to use the library, sales division, expertizing reference library, and other resources at the Center.

Summer Seminar 2011 will be held June 19-24, please check back for photos of the event.
