Congratulations 👏🏽 to the Camden Academy boys basketball team on a terrific season! Their record of 22-4, demonstrates the progress the team has experienced this season due to their dedication and hard work. Last night, Academy showed great athleticism in the 1st round of the South Jersey, Group 2 playoffs in Manchester. While the game was close during the first half, they lost to Manchester Township, ending their season for this year. We are proud of our players and appreciate the dedication of Coaches Phillips and Jackson.
Camden's Promise 6th graders took an exciting behind the scenes tour at the Lincoln Financial Field today. The group visited a club box, press box, and the Eagles locker room. Along the way they learned Eagles history and figured out seating/tickets prices. In the end, students ran through the tunnel onto the field with the same music/lights as on game day! Amazing!!
