That's a wrap on an incredible week of youth athletic camps at Oconee County High! 🏀🏈

The boys basketball, flag football, and football camps wrapped up today, and we could not be prouder of all the young athletes who participated. Each day, the court and fields were buzzing with energy, hard work, and fun.

Camps now will take a break until mid-July. Openings remain for those final sessions at Oconee County and North Oconee, but you need to act fast as the spaces won't last long.

We just wrapped up a jam-packed week of youth athletic camps, and our future Warriors and Titans did not disappoint! Whether they were connecting on layups, following through on forehands, finding the back of the net, or raising the spirit level, every camper had a great time.

Want in on the action? Sessions are continuing through June and July. Space is limited, so lock in your spots today!

Has it really been a week since school got out?

Our students got an early jump on summer fun during field days across the district in the final weeks of school. From water slides and obstacle courses to relay races, bubbles, climbing walls, and plenty of smiles, it was a great way to celebrate another successful year together.

Now it's your turn! Share your summer adventures with us in the comments. We would love to see photos and read what the #OconeeFamily is up to during the break.
