The Concord Review History Camp for Middle School students aims to promote a love for history by allowing students to conduct in-depth research into their chosen historical topic (ancient or modern, domestic or foreign). A TCR writing camp always asks students to investigate a historical passion they have. We never tell students what to write about!

During the camp, students will be asked to thoroughly research a historical event or person that interests them. Therefore, prior to the camp, participants are encouraged to talk with their parents (or teachers) about an interesting historical event to analyze during the 10 day camp.

In addition to promoting a love for history, the camp will introduce young historians to skills they will need as they progress through high school. In particular, students will learn reading and writing strategies specific to writing a research paper.

Students will be taught to: develop their chosen topic into a thesis, practice historiography, locate a variety of sources, expand their point of view, incorporate quotes, and create their narrative, to name just a few.
