Akiba Day Camp - Gesher CIT (9th Grade) serves high-school campers, which means the program is competing against summer jobs, college visits, internships, and residential overnight options. The case for a day camp at this age is usually a CIT (counselor-in-training) track, deep specialization in water sports, or a portfolio item parents and kids both value.
