Oakland Yard Athletics has teamed up with Cedar Crest Academy in Clarkston to bring a new line-up of educationally based camps to the young people of Oakland County and the camp families of Oakland Yard.

This partnership will enable Oakland Yard Athletics Summer Adventure Camps to offer our camp familes an array of educational, artistic, and musical activities.

All Cedar Crest Programs run from 9:00am to 11:30am Monday through Friday. Parents should plan on have campers picked up no later than 12:00pm.

Transportation is available from Oakland Yard to Cedar Crest on a first come, first serve basis and a nominal fee. This service is only available for campers who will be participating in before and after care programs at Oakland Yard.

Cedar Crest's mission is to individualize the core curriculum in order to meet the pace and learning style of each student.

This philosophy will be carried over into the camp setting. Allowing each camper to have individual attention and instruction.

In 1983, Jon and Bette Moen purchased a fertile field of 14 acres, originally a Christmas tree farm, at 8970 Dixie Hwy in Clarkston. On the property was a dentist's home and office, presently the schools Administration Building. The new school needed a name and obvious choice for the Moen's was Cedar Crest Academy. The first year of operation had 20 students and in kindergarten through grade 5. They were nurtured by 3 staff members.

20 years later, Cedar Crest now has 169 students nurtured by 27 staff members. The one building school has grown into 9 classrooms, an early childhood center, an activity rooom and a new gymnasium.
