The competition was spirited, and the community support was abundant as CHS volleyball and the CHS Morgan's Message club teamed up to elevate student-athlete mental health with the first "Morgan's Message Night" collaboration of the winter season.

A few scenes from tonight's JV Volleyball match against ESM!

Due to inclement weather, the Camden Central School District has cancelled all after-school activities, and afternoon half-day Pre-K for Thursday, December 5th.

Thursday night is Morgan’s Message Night with Camden Volleyball! Come support the Blue Devils while advancing the cause of student-athlete mental health with the Morgan’s Message Club, Camden High School Chapter. The club, led by Camden High School senior Ryen Lago and Camden High School social worker Michelle Mellon, aims to raise awareness and provide peer-level support for student-athletes to take control of their mental health journey, and eliminate any stigma around getting the help they may need. This will be the club’s second athletic event fundraiser, as they launched the initiative during a home field hockey contest this fall. There will be raffles to support the cause, and we also have a special presentation from International Wire prior to the Varsity contest. Hailey Gladle will deliver remarks on behalf of the Volleyball program.

Due to inclement weather, the Camden Central School District has cancelled all after-school activities for Wednesday, December 4th. The Camden Middle School sixth grade concert, scheduled for this evening, is postponed to its designated snow date. That concert will now be held on Wednesday, December 18th at 7 PM.

Happy Thanksgiving, Blue Devils!

As the winter sports season gets going, two Camden High School student-athletes will once again be competing in the sport of ice hockey! Brothers Brodie and Evan Buckingham will play as part of the Mohawk Valley Jugglers ice hockey program this winter. The Jugglers are a co-op organization of players from 11 local high schools who do not sponsor their own ice hockey team. It provides those students with an opportunity to play hockey at this level. It was born from the remnants of the former Thomas R. Proctor High School program many years ago, and continues today under the jurisdiction of its host school, Utica Notre Dame. The team receives only a limited amount of funding from its host school, and the majority of operating costs must be covered through fundraising and out-of-pocket expenses. And with hockey, the operating costs are quite substantial. One of the ways you can help support the team and defray costs is through sponsorship. Please take a moment to review the attached sponsorship information, and consider supporting the team this season in their endeavors if you can do so. The team primarily plays its home games at the Utica University Nexus Center in Utica. If you need a closer place to Camden to cheer them on, you can also find them at Rome’s Kennedy Arena at the annual Bobby Ciccotti Memorial Tournament hosted by RFA on December 6th and 7th. That tournament features an all-Oneida County field with Whitesboro and New Hartford rounding out the competition. If you'd like to find them anywhere this season, a full and current schedule for the team can be found here! https://www.hometeamsonline.com/teams/default.asp?u=PROCTOR&s=hockey&p=schedule&format=List
