NW Cyber Camp for Teens

Welcome to NW Cyber Camp, a summer cybersecurity camp offered at multiple college campuses across Oregon including in Bend, Corvallis, Eugene, Klamath Falls, the Portland metro area, and Salem. NWCC is a day camp for students who will be in high school next year. Camp curriculum is the same at each campus and although start and end times differ at each location, participants will be on campus for 7 – 8 hours each day. Lunch is provided.

NW Cyber Camp provides high school students with a comprehensive introduction to the rapidly growing field of cybersecurity. With hands-on learning experiences, industry guest speakers, and expert instructors, NW Cyber Camp is a valuable career exploration and skill building activity for participants.

Funding is provided by various resources including GenCyber and the Oregon Cybersecurity Center of Excellence, making the career exploration opportunity free to Oregon teens. If you will be in high school next year, please complete an application now. Your application asks for a recommendation from a Science Technology Engineering or Math (STEM) teacher, but as an alternative you may ask a school counselor to be your reference. The parent or guardian you name in your application will be asked to complete the registration by signing a program waiver and campus photo release.
