The Concord Review (TCR) History Camp
The Concord Review (TCR) History Camps are intensive online and in-person workshops in which secondary-school students learn and practice a toolbox of skills for researching and writing history.
Students must arrive with at least a subject they want to investigate, preferably with several books and journal articles that they’ve read about it, although they may bring a draft of their work-in-progress.
With the guidance of experienced instructors, they learn and practice fundamentals of the historian’s craft, enabling them to complete a historical research paper of 4,000 to 8,000 words - a long-term project that takes upwards of two to six months.
They 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.
They are given the opportunity 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,
Contemplate the larger philosophical dilemmas associated with studying the past
