SIT: Staff in Training
Leadership development program for teens to gain skills for future camp staff roles.
▌ Editor's read The MJCCA Day Camps website, specifically the SIT program page, loads successfully. The program is designed for rising 9th and 10th graders, focusing on leadership skills, hands-on experience, and community service. The camp is part of the Marcus Jewish Community Center of Atlanta (MJCCA), suggesting a religious affiliation, though the SIT program description itself does not explicitly detail religious content. There is no mention of ACA accreditation, state licensing, or staff-to-camper ratios on the provided page. The website does not contain language regarding background checks for staff. Social media handles for Instagram and Facebook are present on the page.
Who thrives here Ages 14–15
SIT: Staff in Training 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 religious, or a portfolio item parents and kids both value. Programs that don't articulate one of those three usually lose this age band by 9th grade.
