What Is Young Civil War Historians Conference?
Gettysburg College's Young Civil War Historians Conference gives high-school students hands-on historical inquiry through original documents, photographs, battlefield landscapes and memorials. It is a youth programme, distinct from the adult Civil War Institute summer conference and other Gettysburg camps.
The official summer-programmes directory lists June 12-17, 2026 and reports that youth session fully enrolled, with an email waitlist. Earlier youth-programme information described residential participation, incoming grades 11-12, a $1,395 conference fee, a $50 application fee and conditional $500 scholarship support. Those historical amounts and requirements are not a confirmed next-cycle offer.
