NW Cyber Camp for Teens
Welcome to NW Cyber Camp, a summer cybersecurity camp offered at college campuses across Oregon including in Bend, Corvallis, Eugene, Gresham, Klamath Falls, Oregon City, Portland, 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.

Teachers who want to add a unit on cybersecurity to an existing class or want to develop a new course will benefit from this week in Eugene. The Nurturing Inclusive Cybersecurity Education (NICE) program at the University of Oregon has adopted the RING Cybersecurity Curriculum, an NSA-approved framework crafted by the National Centers of Academic Excellence in Cybersecurity (CAE), as the foundation for their support of secondary educators.
UO faculty have also customized the curriculum to reflect best practices, incorporating hands-on activities and practical exercises to offer your students real-world experience in cybersecurity. This is the same curriculum that will be used to train participating teachers during the workshop. By the end of the training, teachers who wish to incorporate cybersecurity into their classrooms will be fully equipped to do so using the materials and guidance provided.
