ROCKPORT – Camden Hills Regional High School announced a new community fund raising campaign aimed at improving its outdoor athletic facilities.  Since the construction of the school nearly 14 years ago, the main athletic field viewing stands were not quite adequate for fans and guests, the school said.

The goal of the “Community Bleacher Project” is to raise $175,000.  The money will be used to buy and install a 650 seat set of bleachers and press box adjacent to the Don Palmer Field.  The Don Palmer Field currently is the main venue for our football, soccer, lacrosse, track and cross country teams. 

“The great thing about this project is that the new set of bleachers and press box on the Don Palmer Field will then allow the relocation of the existing bleachers to the baseball, softball, field hockey and JV soccer fields, which will enhance seating at all our outdoor events,” the school said, in a news release. “The new set of bleachers and press box will also allow a wider range of community events that are not part of the school to be held on the Don Palmer Field.”
