We recently got news that Camden High School has earned "School of Excellence" recognition from the New York State Public High School Athletic Association! Earning the "School of Excellence" designation requires an athletic department to have over 75 percent of its varsity teams achieve "Scholar-Athlete Team Award" status. 25 Blue Devil teams did so during this school year.
Join the Camden soccer programs for their August youth clinic!
Did you know that Camden students can participate in high school ice hockey? Camden is a participating school in the Mohawk Valley Jugglers combined hockey team that competes in Section III competition each winter. Camden students Brodie and Evan Buckingham are on the team currently, along with students from 10 other area districts.
The team relies on fundraising to stay on the ice, and could use your support at their upcoming golf tournament to be held at Stonebridge Golf Club in New Hartford on Friday, August 4th. Registration is at 8 AM, and golf begins with a "shotgun" start on the course at 9 AM.
The cost is 100 dollars per person, which includes greens fees, cart, lunch, beverages, dinner, on-course contests, door prizes, and of course, important resources for the team to compete this winter.
Sponsorship packages are also available for interested businesses.
