FAMILY SUPPORT
CSCR welcomes all families.
Our family support request is quite modest considering our target goal for students each summer: 50 hours of immersive Varsity Research experience. Furthermore, our Varsity Research students can participate year-round in all of our programming and take full advantage of the opportunities we create 12 months a year for our Varsity Research teams. Additionally, we partner with many of the area high schools to ensure that CSCR student research is credentialed by partner schools.
For these highly valuable educational experiences, we ask families to contribute financially in support of our year-round programming. However, we erect no barriers to participation. Reach out to Jack Buckley (jbuckley@ccscr.org) with questions or concerns about our request for family support.
RESEARCH Start & End DATES
The core 2026 summer research calendar runs 8 weeks from Monday, June 22 to Friday, August 14.
However, we run our research projects for 10-12 weeks. All varsity research students are welcomed to join our extended program. We begin as soon as college interns, high school students, and project leaders indicate their availability. And we run projects right into September while the weather is optimal and field & lab routines are well established. Therefore, opportunities for students are abundant beyond our core 8 week program.
That said, we repeat our official kick off and wrap up dates: Monday, June 22 –Friday, August 14.
Our core calendar provides ample research opportunities for students to meet our target 50 hours, the threshold for course recognition or credit at area high schools in our regional Community of Practice. This goal is easily within reach when students consider the extended research calendar as well as year round opportunities.
