Roane State Community College and Y-12 National Security Complex are once again working together to host a Cybersecurity Summer Camp for 2025.

Two sessions will be held this year at the college’s campus in Oak Ridge. The first session is scheduled in June for high-school-aged students. The second session is scheduled in July and is for middle-school-aged students. Registration will open April 2 at 9 a.m. ET.

Roane State partnered with Y-12 in this effort to inspire the next-generation workforce and help develop talents that can be used to protect our nation’s most valuable information.

During the camp, students learn about digital forensics, IP scanning, data reconnaissance, and many other topics – all key components of Y-12’s best-in-class cybersecurity program. Additionally, campers will focus on network visualization, mapping, and simulation.

The 2025 camp dates and times are as follows: 

• Session 1 (grades 9-12): June 9-12, 9 a.m. – 3 p.m. ET
• Session 2 (grades 6-8): July 7-10, 9 a.m. – 3 p.m. ET

Registration is $25 per camper and will cover the cost of a camp t-shirt. Parents may register students online at roanestate.edu/cybercamp. Space is limited for both sessions and spots are expected to fill quickly.

Roane State’s Oak Ridge Campus is located at 701 Briarcliff Avenue. Participating students will receive additional instructions for parking/drop-off and classroom location closer to the camp start date.

Questions about the camp can be directed to Sonya Parker, Roane State’s workforce training manager, by emailing parkers@roanestate.edu or calling (865) 481-2031.
