Roane State Community College

April 20, 2026

Roane State Community College and Y-12 National Security Complex are once again working together to host a Cybersecurity Summer Camp for 2026.

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 the following week for middle-school-aged students. Registration for both sessions is now open.

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 2026 camp dates and times are as follows: 

• Session 1 (grades 9-12): June 8-11, 9 a.m. – 3 p.m. ET
• Session 2 (grades 6-8): June 15-18, 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.
