Each Fall, the Camden Central School District hosts its annual Homecoming Festival. This event is not just a celebration of our schools and our alumni, but also celebrates what it means to be from the Queen Village, and the many communities that comprise our vast District. The festival promises to have something for Blue Devils of all ages!

As with last year's homecoming webpage, we will continually add information here as we get closer to spirit week and our Homecoming Saturday events!

Come celebrate the magic of Camden with us!

Kim Dean '92 at Camden High School is the District's main point of contact for the Parade and Homecoming Festival events. She can be reached at Kdean@camdencsd.org. For building-level events such as spirit week, contact your child's school for more information.

Come see the 2024 Blue Devils varsity squad in action on Saturday, October 5th as Camden hosts CVA in a league contest at the Camden High School Stadium. Admission is free. Kickoff is slated for 6:30 PM!

We may be over a thousand miles from the world famous park, but we can still march down our very own Main Street USA here in Camden! And that is exactly what we will do!

One of the Greater Camden Area's time-honored traditions keeps marching into 2024 with our homecoming parade. Join us in the Village of Camden on Saturday, October 5th as we spend the afternoon celebrating our school and community groups with this high energy event.

The parade route begins at Camden High School and continues down Oswego Street and into Main Street. The high school parking lot will be used as a staging area, and the line of march will step off promptly at 1 p.m. Please arrive to the staging area early, and even earlier if your entry involves a vehicle. Read the parade instructions for arrival guidance.

To register your school or community group to participate in the parade, use one of the following options.

Paper forms can be mailed to:
