OA Update: Registration is OPEN for OA Summer Enrichment Camps.
Our summer enrichment camps will include four and five-day options, beginning July 11th and ending August 19th.
Some camps may already show as ‘Full’ since there may have been a limited number of openings due to various reasons, like space, materials needed, or staffing. Waiting lists are available for ‘Full' camps by emailing Andy Buchsbaum at buchsbauma@oacsd.org.
If you registered for a camp but no longer plan to attend, please email Andy Buchsbaum at buchsbauma@oacsd.org so that a space can be opened up for someone on the waiting list.
The daily schedule will remain the same as in previous years (unless otherwise noted per camp):
Breakfast: 8:00-8:30
AM Session: 8:30-11:30
Lunch: 11:30-12:00
PM Session: 12:00-3:00
Breakfast and Lunch are FREE for ALL students attending a camp or not.
The district will provide transportation before Breakfast and again following the last program of the day (3:00). Mid-day pick-up/drop-off will be the responsibility of families.

Good Afternoon OA School Community,
We wanted to share that Owego Free Academy will be holding a distracted driving simulation in conjunction with the Owego Fire Department, Owego Police Department, and other local agencies tomorrow, Wednesday, June 1st. The presentation to OFA Juniors and Seniors will be at 1:00 pm in the OFA student parking lot. This event is being organized by Emma Roden and Becca Hawkins, both OFA graduates, and first responders.
We wanted our entire School Community to be aware of the presentation that will include various emergency vehicles, including a helicopter that will land on campus. We understand that having many first responders arriving at OFA in the middle of the school day may raise questions and concerns for those unaware that a simulation is happening.
Please understand that this is not a public event. It is specifically designed for our High School Students to reinforce the importance of safe driving practices as we head into Prom and Graduation season.
Feel free to contact the OFA main office with any questions.
