New Expanded Program for campers completing 8th and 9th Grade “CDG SUPREME”
For its 100th year, CDG is expanding its program by splitting off the upper half of camp and creating CDG Supreme – An exclusive upper half of camp experience for 8th and 9th graders.
CDG Supreme will be comprised of three divisions, Malchus, CITS and Travel. Situated on a separate hill within our campus, CDG Supreme will feature exclusive access to its own shul and dining room, Supreme-only trips, custom swag and its own Dedicated Head Staff and Rabbeim.
The unique atmosphere of this older program will allow for Thursday Night Mishmors, Special Melava Malkas, Inspiring Zmiros and uplifting Friday night onegs. CDG Supreme will of course also remain part of the legendary Max Miles Program.
CDG Supreme Day – Campers in CDG Supreme will also have opportunities to integrate alongside our wonderful staff by assuming staff positions periodically throughout the course of the summer.
Malchus – Now that our Malchus campers have graduated 8th grade and are on the verge of entering High School we are pleased to offer them a brand new Camp Dora Golding experience. As part of CDG Supreme they will benefit from tailor-made age-appropriate programming, a customized daily schedule and priority access to courts and fields.
CITs – The CIT program is designed to help the campers develop their interpersonal and management skills. It will allow them to demonstrate leadership qualities and cultivate the inner strengths they will discover in fulfilling these roles.
A day in the life of a CDG CIT will include our competitive sports leagues, our renowned Miles learning program, and exciting trips. In addition, CIT’s will gain meaningful experience working part time in one of the three following areas of camp:
Option 1 – Waitering
CITs can opt to waiter meals in our dining hall. Their schedule will be built to accommodate the set up and take down time that waitering will require. Campers who choose this option will have an opportunity to earn tips from the waiter pool.
Option 2 – Sports Staff
CITs who choose this option will have the opportunity to referee league games for campers in our younger divisions. The CIT Sports Staff schedule will be constructed so as not to conflict with their own league games.
Option 3 – Counselors in Training
CIT’s who choose this option will gain meaningful experience working with younger campers under the guidance of counselors and division heads. They will join bunks as additional staff members for activities and will get a sense of what it’s like to be a counselor and make an impact on a child’s life.
Campers who successfully participate in any of our CIT programs will receive priority status when it comes to staff hiring in future years.
Travel –
