2026 Air Force Association CyberCamp hosted by Pitt Cyber

Each year, Pitt Cyber, in partnership with Pitt Digital, hosts the Air Force Association CyberCamp. This week-long camp is free and open to high school students and teaches cybersecurity principles, skills, and future career opportunities.

The CyberCamp and its commitment to building a strong pipeline of cybersecurity professionals was highlighted recently by the White House.

The camp is designed for a range of technical skill levels, including introductory digital literacy, and is focused on systems security and cyber ethics. Taught by cybersecurity professionals from the University of Pittsburgh and elsewhere, students learn in-demand skills like cyber hygiene, Windows and Ubuntu system administration, and more. The camp concludes with students competing to find and fix vulnerabilities in a virtual machine environment.

The camp will be held Monday-Friday, June 22-26, 2026 from 9 AM - 1 PM and includes the opportunity to hear from and interact with cyber professionals during classroom time, panels, and other events. The Standard and Advanced Camps run concurrently. If you are unsure which is right for you, please visit our FAQ page.
