Great place to raise a family. I lived here my whole childhood and moved away for college but I’m seriously considering moving back to start a family. The schools are great and it’s such a close-knit community.

Camden is a nice town, everyone knows everyone. The scenery is amazing whether it is spring or winter, no matter the year it's beautiful. Even though it is a small town, they still have shops, places for food, some clothing, restaurants mostly based off of sea food since it's on the water, plus many more.

It was a pretty nice place to grow up but not many opportunities for people with university educations and skills beyond construction, service industry, accounting, very seasonal based employment opportunities.
