Who thrives here Ages 16–18
SCAD Rising Star: Savannah (Residential) 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 arts, or a portfolio item parents and kids both value.
