Camden County High School is most well known for the huge support of its football team (the Wildcats), which holds the state record for the longest regular-season winning streak at 58 games. The team was Region Champions in 1975, 1979, 1987, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1996, and every year from 2001 to 2013. The Wildcat football team has won three AAAAA State Championships, the first in 2003, then back-to-back state titles in 2008 and 2009. Camden County has become a staple in the SEC and ACC college recruiting circuits.
Camden County's volleyball and wrestling teams finished in the top ten of state competition during the 2006-2007 seasons.
The all-girl cheerleading squad won regions in 1994-1999; then they became coed. The coed cheerleading squad finished second at state in 2002. They were the national team of the year in 2002. In 2009, they placed third at state.
In the 2008–09 year, the varsity wrestling team placed fourth at the state dual meet, their first time placing at state. The team were region champs for 13 consecutive seasons, from 1999–2011. They also placed third at the traditional state meet. In the 2009–2010 season, the varsity wrestling team placed third in both the dual and traditional State meet. In the 2010–2011 season, the wrestling team had its highest-ever finish by placing second in both the traditional and dual state meet. On January 14, 2012 Camden County High School's varsity wrestling team won the GA AAAAA State Dual Championship, knocking off four-time defending champions Collins Hill. In a county steeped in football history, this was a major feat for what is considered locally to be a minor sport. It is a great testament to the team who have broken through the local football-only mentality to grasp the only state championship outside of football in school history. In 2015 the wrestling team won the GA AAAAA State Dual and Traditional Championship.
