After learning about Picasso this week, students played a dice game in Miss Archibee's Studio in Art! Given a sheet of paper with facial features, students rolled a number that told them which style to add to their piece. They cut their results out of cardboard, painted with watercolor, and added finishing touches with oil pastel. Come see more work by the Studio in Art students on Wednesday, May 14th at the K-12 Art Show in the High School Auditorium Foyer from 6:00-8:00PM!
Who's ready for Saturday's performance? Come and see the CHS Drama Club present "A Midsummer Night's Dream" at 7 PM!
The Camden Athletes of the Week Program is back! Winners for the week of 4/28-5/4 were as follows:
Camryn Shenk: Camryn is the starting shortstop for the Varsity Softball team. Her peers nominated her for her performance during games and practice. Cam holds a .615 batting average with 4 home runs, and 27 RBIs. Cam will be playing Division I softball at Leymone next spring.

Todd Wilson: Todd is number 1 in the lineup for the Boys Varsity Golf Team. Todd was nominated for being a great teammate, along with his performance during matches, and focus during practice. Todd currently averages a score of 38.1 for 9 holes, and has not shot more than 5-over all season. Todd is set to play Division III golf next year at Nazareth.
The Camden unified basketball team held its home opener against New Hartford on Thursday, May 8th. The Blue Devils locked up a 44-29 win over the Spartans, led by Jayden Osborne's 24 points. Stephen Parry finished with 14 points of his own. Other key contributions came from Peter Trautner, Charles Vaillancourt, and Angelina Kersey!
The Unified Basketball program has become a favorite within our school community, and with great reason. Held in conjunction with NYSPHSAA and Special Olympics New York, Unified Sports empower all students to be part of a team's success. Students with and without disabilities partner together to build skills, have fun, observe the highest standard of sportsmanship and pursue a common goal. And if you've never been to a game, the enthusiasm is truly infectious.
The Blue Devils are headed to Central Valley Academy today for a 4:30 PM tipoff. They also visit Whitesboro on Tuesday. You can see the team in action at home as they celebrate senior day on Thursday, May 15th against Oneida. That game tips off at 4 PM.
On Thursday, May 9th, the Camden softball program celebrated its class
of 2025 with the annual senior day observance. Ahead of a 25-0 win over Holland Patent, the Blue Devils recognized Camryn Shenk and Kendall Musch for their contributions to the program.
In this matchup, the seniors certainly were a part of the show. Shenk homered and tripled en route to five runs scored and four runs batted in. Musch hit three doubles and added a triple while also scoring three runs. In the circle, Abby Hebble rang up five Golden Knight
hitters on strikes, and Aubree Turk struck out four in relief. The Blue Devils' pitching duo combined for a two hit shutout.
Both senior athletes on the team are bound for Division I programs in
the fall of 2025. Camryn is headed to Le Moyne, and Kendall will lace
up the cleats for St. Bonaventure.
