Always at the forefront of technology, CGI has developed a new ground breaking app. Utilizing their smart phones, head staff are able to mark bunk competition ‘on the fly’ with the marks being transmitted in real time, to a central server location. The app also does away with painstaking manual point counting and tallying up with other head staff which results in time being spent more efficiently.
Recognizing each individual camper’s progress and effort has been the focus of this year’s Mishnayos Baal Peh program. At the beginning of the summer, each camper received their own MBP booklet and campers are able to progress through each of the levels at their own pace. Each page of the booklet features a different level with stamps indicating progress. Upon completing a level camper’s receive an automatic prize ranging from VIP cocoa club status and exciting late nights to beautiful seforim sets. Encouraging team progress isn’t left out; with each learning class that completes a set quota eligible for a weekly popcorn party. To date this summer over 13,000 lines of Mishnayos have been learnt!
