AFA CyberCamps are held during specified weeks between June and August each summer. The camps are designed to be conducted over five days – Monday through Thursday consist of 4 hours of instruction each day, and Friday is reserved for a mini-competition.
HOW
Approved organizations purchase a curriculum kit consisting of five (5) four-hour instruction modules, accompanying instructor guides, student workbooks, and demonstration software that will teach students important skills in cyber safety and cybersecurity. It is the responsibility of the host organization to facilitate the logistics of the camp (location, instructors, hardware, etc.).
