Howieson, just 17, has been picked in a 22-man squad to play in games in the United States and also in the Solomon Islands.
Howieson, a midfielder, began his football career at Mosgiel before he was picked up by the Asia-Pacific Football Academy in Christchurch.
After impressing at last year's under-17 World Cup in Mexico, he was signed by English championship outfit Burnley.
He was initially contracted as an apprentice but a couple of months ago signed as a fully fledged professional and made his first team debut last month.
All Whites coach Ricki Herbert said both Howieson and another youngster, Tim Payne (18), who has signed with another northern English club, Blackburn Rovers, were selected with an eye on the future.
"Tim and Cameron have both done well to get themselves to professional clubs and Cameron has made his senior debut recently, which just continues the promise both players have shown at age group level," Herbert said.
"We want to get them in and give them a taste of the environment, to see if they can make the step up to international football for the All Whites and the Olympic team."
Howieson has returned to New Zealand in the English off-season but he will not have a lot of time to cool his heels, as the All Whites journey to the United States at the weekend, to take on El Salvador in Houston on May 24 (NZ time).
They then take on Honduras, in Dallas, three days later.
After those matches, the side will travel to the Solomon Islands, where it will play in the Oceania Federation Conference Nations Cup, which doubles as World Cup qualifying matches.
It will play Fiji on June 2, followed by games against Papua New Guinea and the host country.
The semifinalists in this tournament, which should include the All Whites, will play out the tournament but will then go through to the next phase of qualifying for the 2014 World Cup.
These qualifying games will involve matches played in international windows over the next nine months.
The winner of the cup in the Solomon Islands will qualify for next year's Confederations Cup in Brazil.
Former Kavanagh College pupil Andy Boyens has not made the All Whites squad.
Ryan Nelsen has been picked for the side, and is likely to captain it, although he will not make the trip to the United States. Herbert also cast doubt over whether he would play in the Solomon Islands.
Nelsen (34) has struggled with injury all season, and it may serve better to give him a rest, and a full off-season.
Missing from the trip to the United States is defender Tony Lochhead, who is away on his honeymoon, while striker Rory Fallon is pursuing coaching qualifications.
