Alumni
Accomplished leaders who embody the institution’s legacy of excellence and leadership.
The Camden-Carlisle Alumni Association was organized in 1982. The first Alumni Association meeting was held July 16, 1983, at the Carlisle House on the Camden Military Academy campus. The Association, through the Academy’s Office of Development and Alumni Affairs, maintains a data base of information on approximately 9,000 alumni. It also sponsors an annual alumni reunion in the spring and a homecoming in the fall, both of which are held on the campus of Camden Military Academy. In addition, the Association sponsors an annual Alumni Awards program to recognize outstanding alumni and other supporters. Each year’s award recipients are honored at homecoming.
The first issue of the Alumni Association’s newsletter, The Bugle, was published in October 1983. The publication is distributed quarterly to alumni, parents, friends, and former faculty of Carlisle Military School, Camden Academy, and Camden Military Academy.
In October 1997, the Alumni Association chartered a new organization, the Alumni Council, for the purpose of governing the Alumni Association. The Council is made up of current and past presidents of the Alumni Association. The current president governs the Alumni Association for the Council and may appoint vice presidents with responsibilities such as maintaining a corps of class representatives, regional focus and activities, and fundraising.
Through its various activities, the Alumni Association supports Camden Military Academy’s Annual Fund and Capital campaigns, it encourages alumni to stay in touch with their alma mater and with their former classmates and fellow cadets and it keeps alive the traditions of Carlisle and Camden as these combined institutions move forward through their second century of service to young men.
Annual Fund
Through the support of our donors, we have given financial aid to families of cadets who might not have been able to attend Camden Military Academy. Our fiscal year runs from June 1st through May 31st every year. All donations received go to the scholarship fund, unless designated for specific purposes. Corporate matches are encouraged if applicable to you, the donor.
