Community Links

The River Grove and Melrose Park communities provide an abundance of opportunities for our parents and students to stay active outside of school. Below you will find links to those opportunities.

Leyden Summer Camps

Attending camps at Leyden High School can be beneficial to the aspiring athlete as well as keep students active. High School coaches host these camps to give students the opportunity to work on skills and strategies that will be needed if they are to play a high school sport. This is also a great time for the student athlete to make a positive impression on high school coaches.
