  • Annual Alumni Banquet Coronavirus Update

    At this time, we feel it is in everyone’s best interest to cancel the Camden Alumni Association Annual Banquet again this year. Our desire is for everyone to stay safe & healthy. Unfortunately, with the uncertainties for what the near future holds on public gatherings, it has become nearly impossible to plan future events at this time.

    We are still working on the details to award the scholarships to the graduating seniors. It is still our plan to award eight scholarships to deserving graduating seniors this year. Due to the generous level of donations received this past year we are also increasing the scholarship award to $1,250 to each recipient this year, our first increase due to inflation in 12 years.

    In early to mid-May, we will be sending out a mailer to our alumni to ask you for your annual membership dues and any scholarship donation you would like to make for this year to help us fund next year’s activities and scholarships. We greatly appreciate your support at that time.

    Thank you for your understanding during this ongoing difficult time of social distancing. We feel the sadness for all of the 5-Year reunion classes from both this year and last year who are unable to celebrate as a group until this pandemic is under control, especially the 50-Year honored classes: the Class of 1970 and the Class of 1971.

    We are looking forward to resuming our Annual Alumni Banquets as soon as conditions will allow us to do so safely. At that time, it will be a special celebration honoring all the 50-Year classes that missed their special year along with the current 50-Year class!

    DO NOT USE THIS WEBSITE!! I REPEAT: DO NOT USE THIS WEBSITE!!

    It is a commercial site that charges you money for full access to it’s information and is in no way connected to the Official Camden Alumni Association. Please avoid them, and definitely do not give them any money!!

    This is their web address/URL: https://www.alumniclass.com/camden-high-school-blue-devils-ny/

    Please avoid supporting them, it does not support your true alumni association, just some commercial business run in Washington State.

    Yes, I am a member myself, but I joined years ago when the site was new, and got a free lifetime membership, just so I could keep track of them and try to steer people away from spending money with them thinking they were supporting the official Camden Alumni Association.

  • Today would have been Banquet Day!

    We just wanted to send out a message to all alumni to say “Happy Banquet Day” even though we have been unable to gather as a group due to COVID-19 restrictions. We are all saddened that the 50-year class of 1970 and all other 5-year classes have been unable to celebrate their milestone events this year.

    However, there are discussions and works in the plans for a joint celebration between the Class of 1971 and the Class of 1970 for next year’s banquet, and if this all plans out, hopefully the other 5-year classes from this year will also be able to join us at the 2021 Annual Banquet for a belated celebration of their special years missed this year.

    Also, as is usually done as a part of the annual banquet, the Annual Reports for the Treasurer, Scholarship Chairperson, Secretary and Registrar are now online for downloading.  You may download them by clicking here.

  • 2020 Membership Dues and Scholarship Fund Donations

    The Board of Directors of the Camden Alumni Association would like to send a thank you to all of our alumni for your understanding during this difficult time of social distancing and personal seclusion due to the COVID-19 Coronavirus.

    We feel sadness for the the Class of 1970, the honored 50-year class for this year, and all of our 5-year reunion classes, who have been unable to celebrate as a group this year. We are looking forward to resuming our Annual Alumni Banquets in June 2021 and hope many alumni will join us for future banquets.

    However, since we were unable to send out our annual Alumni Banquet, Annual Dues and Scholarship Donations mailer, we are now sending out this notice to request you continue to make your annual dues payments and scholarship donations.

    If at all possible, we are requesting that you make your annual alumni dues and scholarship donation payment through our new online payment page on our website to limit the amount of physical mail that has to be personally handled by the registrar to process your payments and information. Payments are processed by PayPal, but no account is needed, just a credit card.

    If you have already sent in your dues and/or donation, we thank you for reaching out to us already.

    If you have not yet paid your annual dues or made a donation to the scholarship fund, please make your online dues & donation payment on our website by CLICKING HERE or fill out and return the mail in form you can download HERE.
