Welcome to NW Cyber Camp 2024, a summer cybersecurity camp taking place throughout July and into August at multiple sites across the state including in the Portland Metro, Salem, Corvallis, Eugene, Bend, and Klamath Falls. Our mission is to provide 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, we believe that NW Cyber Camp 2024 will be a valuable experience for participants with no prior cybersecurity experience. We are proud to offer Girls-Focused classes at Mt. Hood, Portland Community College, and Chemeketa Community College to help encourage and support female students interested in cybersecurity. These classes are led by women and include expert women guest speakers. Additionally, the camp will provide students with ongoing access to opportunities including a winter 2024 CTF and commentary access to a student cybersecurity track run alongside an industry-led conference organized in collaboration with the Technology Association of Oregon, providing an excellent opportunity to meet with cybersecurity companies and learn about academic opportunities and careers.
