TCR Summer Programs are intensive workshops in history, research, and writing that offer high school students an advisory structure in which to work on historical research projects on topics of their choosing.
Students arrive at the program with a research topic in hand that they then develop over two weeks, with the end goal of writing a publication-worthy essay.
They are allowed to formulate productive research questions, find and use primary and secondary sources, take effective notes, examine model historical essays, pursue various analytical and narrative writing strategies, confront problems of structure and organization, and contemplate the larger philosophical dilemmas associated with studying the past.
Students are also given individualized sessions with instructors as well as ample study time on their own in the context of a fully-equipped research library.

While the TCR History Camp provides first-rate personal coaching, participation does not guarantee publication. The Concord Review selects about 5% of the papers submitted. While we welcome submissions from students who have attended the TCR Summer Programs, their papers will be considered alongside other papers submitted by diligent students from many countries.
