2025 Summer Boston In-Person Camp

Class Description

TCR Summer Programs are intensive workshops in history, research, and writing that offer high school students an advisory structure to work on historical research projects on their own chosen topics.

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 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, and contemplate the larger philosophical dilemmas associated with studying the past; 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.
