Remain For Cybersecurity Camp At OCC

TOMS RIVER – Ocean County College has room for 11 more students for session two of its Cybersecurity Camp which includes round-trip transportation from Toms River high schools. The program is open to high school students and is first come, first serve. Interested in Hacking? A career in Cybersecurity? Protecting organizations, employees, and assets from cyber threats?

The GenCyber Safe camp creates a fun and educational experience for high school campers. Campers have five days of fun, highly interactive activities, led by experienced cybersecurity and telecom professionals using Ocean County College’s Cybersecurity curriculum and facilities. The college is a National Cybersecurity Education and Training (NCyTE) member institution, and CompTIA Security+ and EC Council Certified Ethical Hacker Academia Partner. Campers develop an improved sense of Cybersecurity practices for their devices, an elevated awareness of GenCyber Security Principles and Concepts, and exposure to the disciplines and career opportunities in the emerging field of information security professionals. They will be challenged to think securely and to stay GenCyber Safe through their lives.

The camp serves as an inroad to higher education and a career pathway for high school students who may otherwise be unfamiliar with the academic and professional opprotunities that an understanding of cybersecurity fundamentals can open for them.

The camp sessions are free thanks to a national grant, but are first come, first served. If your plans change and you are no longer able to attend the camp, please let us know so that we can move up a child from our waiting list.

Students must be in high school (grades 8-12) in order to participate in this camp. Camp runs August 7 through 11. For more information or to register, visit campsoncampusocc.coursestorm.com/course/ gen-cyber-safe-youth-camp.
