For summer 2025, we will be hiring for many positions, including leadership, activity specialists, and general counselors.

Center Day Camp was established in 1949 by the Jewish Community Center in Portland. Just 20 minutes west of Portland, CDC sits on 27 spectacular acres of woods, fields, and shoreline. Generations of campers have spent their days lakeside, forming lifelong friendships, learning new skills, and experiencing the magic of camp. Today, CDC is a non-denominational day camp of the Jewish Community Alliance, welcoming campers age 5-15 of all faiths and backgrounds, while exploring Jewish traditions.
