A message from the Camden Basketball Boosters: ATTENTION ALL BASKETBALL ALUMNI!!! The Camden Basketball Boosters have an exciting opportunity for all that have played on the court in the Camden High School gymnasium! As many of you may know, the basketball floor is being replaced. They will be selling the old floor in 16"x16" pieces for $20 each. If you are interested in purchasing a piece of the outgoing floor please send a message to the Camden Basketball Boosters Facebook page to reserve your piece! Please provide your last name to them, and the years you played varsity basketball. Time is limited for them to get pieces of the floor for this project so they need info by Friday July 12, 2024. The Boosters will provide more details (payment, delivery, etc), in the near future.

It may be July, but we still have a student-athlete competing for Camden! Garrett Wines '24 of the Camden High School Clay Target Team is out in Mason, Michigan to compete at the USA High School Clay Target League National Championships! Good luck, Garrett!!

Blue Devils: Mark those calendars for sports registration and the start of practices! More info is coming soon from the Athletic Department!

June 5th is a special day for the Camden Central School District athletic department, as nine senior student-athletes will sign letters of intent or commitment forms to compete at the collegiate level in their chosen sport as part of a signing ceremony held at 5 PM in the Camden High School Main Gym. The following athletes will be celebrated: Thomas Hollibaugh, Soccer, SUNY Morrisville Layla Killino, Basketball/Softball, Jefferson Community College Avery Prievo, Softball, SUNY Cobleskill Trey O’Rourke, Football, SUNY Morrisville Elizabeth Hunley, Track and Field, SUNY Oswego Gabrielle Croniser, Field Hockey, Roberts Wesleyan Rhyanne Johnson, Field Hockey, SUNY Oswego Emily Bird, Field Hockey, York College Devin Plourde, Baseball, Onondaga Community College Members of the school community are welcome to attend as we celebrate this important milestone.

Did you know we have varsity student-athletes competing in high school boys' ice hockey? It all happens through a regional co-op program called the Mohawk Valley Jugglers. The Jugglers are made up of players from about a dozen local schools, including Camden's Brodie and Evan Buckingham. These two student-athletes embody dedication to the sport, often travelling over 45 minutes for practice alone. The program is largely a self-funded endeavor, and the sport can get expensive over time. If you're interested, you can support the team through their upcoming golf outing on August 2nd. In addition to golfers, they are also looking for raffle basket donors and sponsors. For more information on this outing, or the Jugglers program, reach out to Megan Buckingham at mbuckingham@camdencsd.org.

Final score out of Malta, NY. We are so very proud of what this team has accomplished this season, and how the standard of this program continues to escalate over time. #GoBlue
