Cyber Camp Develops Tomorrow's IT Security Pros

July 18, 2011 By Hilton Collins

Manson compared the event to a sport for players using brains instead of brawn. “The goal of the U.S. Cyber Challenge is to find and develop 10,000 cyber warriors,” he said. And by the time the morning was over, these eager men and women had finished a challenge that could determine their career paths for the rest of their lives, whether they won or lost. The competition on Friday July 15 was the final event in a weeklong training camp -- one of five scheduled this summer around the country. The national effort’s goal is finding 10,000 people to train as the country’s next generation of IT professionals who can keep America’s cyber infrastructure safe as the digital world becomes more dangerous. Delaware, Missouri, Virginia and Maryland will host the other camps. The federal government announced the first series of challenges in 2009 as boot camps to train and grow an army of cyber security professionals. Sponsors include the SANS Institute, SAIC, Microsoft, Booz Allen Hamilton, Lockheed Martin and the CIO Council. Cal Poly first joined as a campus host in the 2010 series, and Friday’s competition was an activity capping off five days of learning and bonding for participants. Mental engagement begins long before the camp does. For many participants, attendance is invitation only, but once a person gets the invite, he or she must take a test and has 24 hours to finish after starting.

There Is Such a Thing as a Free Lunch with CampsAtoZ.com Summer ...

Scottsdale, AZ (PRWEB) March 27, 2009

Tough times have everyone looking for ways to save money. The summer camp industry is no different. Finding the right camp can be time-consuming and, especially for working parents, time is money. At CampsAtoZ.com, the Valley’s original free online guide to summer camps, parents can match their child’s interests to camps that range in cost from highly affordable to costly. The website allows them to do that quickly and at no cost. That adds up to the equivalent of a free lunch. As an added bonus, the online guide has added a blog this year. The first postings reflect on the Economy’s Effect on Summer Camps and The Right Age for Overnight Camp, both very timely topics.

CampsAtoZ.com’s blog on the Economy’s Effect on Summer Camps, in particular, has drawn several comments from both parents and camps. General consensus is that parents will still need camps for their children but will likely be looking for more financial help or better deals to make the experience affordable. Camps, on the other hand, are tapping into their creativity to increase flexibility and tailor their offerings to the needs of working parents and struggling families. The CampsAtoZ.com blog allows parents to make a more informed decision.

The website allows parents to search for summer camps in Northern Arizona, Scottsdale, the East Valley, the Phoenix area and Tucson as well as camps in Northern California, San Diego County, Orange County, LA and Central California. The more than 600 listings include both day and overnight camps that specialize in such areas as: arts, sports, music, computers, gymnastics, academics, theater, special needs and more. With summer already in sight, new camps are being added daily and parents are encouraged to select a camp soon as many of the most popular and affordable camps fill early. The site, which requires no registration, is easy to use and free to parents who want to match a summer camp to their child’s age and interests.

Now in its 7th year, CampsAtoZ.com is one of the Valley’s most reliable sources for camp connections. It originated with Julia James, President of Corfe Marketing Group who said, “I started CampsAtoZ.com after spending countless hours searching for summer activities for my own family and discovered that other parents faced the same situation. CampsAtoZ.com takes a lot of the frustration out of finding fun and positive activities to occupy children during the summer.
