EDUCATION

Grade-school children enjoy great public education from the Caesar Rodney School District. Camden’s high-school age students usually attend Caesar Rodney High School. Dover also offers its own Dover High School and some students also attend the nearby POLYTECH high school. Wesley College and Delaware State University is located in Dover. Dover also features satellite locations of the University of Delaware and Wilmington University. The Campus of the Delaware Technical and Community College is also based in Dover.

ECONOMY AND JOB MARKET

The relative low cost of living, the close proximity of the local government, and the business-friendly laws in place all provide for Camden’s great economy. Dover is one of the fastest-growing areas in the entire state. The nearby Dover Air Force Base is, besides the government, one of the biggest employers. The manufacturing facilities of Playtex, Procter & Gamble, and General Mills are also stable work environments. ILC Dover, a producer of fabrics for military and aerospace uses, is another big employer. The entire area’s economy receives a giant boost ever year during the NASCAR stock races which draw in 100,000 visitors to Dover. Millions of dollars are saturated into the economy during these races.

ATTRACTIONS/ POINTS OF INTEREST

There are a wide variety of attraction and points of interest in the area that provide plenty of entertainment. The Amish Country Bike Tour takes place every September, during the first Saturday after Labor Day. The ride takes you through the farmlands and small settlements that run along the Kent County landscape. Cyclists enjoy good food, live music, friendly Amish people, and time to sink it all in during stops in scenic locations. The two weeks of NASCAR races are also a big attraction, and definitely become the most exciting time of the year for all Dover residents. There are twenty diverse and historic museums throughout Kent County, most of which offer free admission. For the collector there are plenty of antique shops as well.

PARKS AND RECREATION

There are quite a few local parks that provide beautiful escapes into nature for the whole family. In general, birding, kayaking, walking, gaming, cycling are some outdoor activities residents really enjoy. Right outside of Camden is the Wild Quail Country Club that offers excellent golf courses.
