I wanted her to experience being away from home, to learn to bond with other kids and do fun activities before she started high school. Camp Fitch gives her a chance to learn how to make new friends outside of her peers at school.

I have very fond memories of summer camp as a child and I want that for our kids. We love that Camp Fitch is on Lake Erie and that you offer activities that allow the kids to enjoy the lake. We're happy about the values that are taught and followed at Camp Fitch, and feel that our kids return each year a little better than when they arrived.

Camp Fitch, and the YMCA in general, have a solid reputation and good reviews. This camp with its large terrains and location on Lake Erie to offer everything that we were looking for in our son’s camp experience. Overall, this was a very positive camp experience for our son, with many fun memories.

Camp Fitch is a family tradition. All of our family members -- my parents, my siblings my children and I have all attended camp. We all love it and are able to share that feeling with one another. Camp Fitch fosters healthy, Christian behavior in an atmosphere of fun, acceptance for others and development of self.

I have spent every summer at Camp Fitch since I was 9. It is my favorite place ever. I have met some of the closest people in my life there. I can never thank Camp for everything it has done, and continues to do for me. I love it!!!!

Camp has been a great chance for her to totally be herself. No one has any preconceived notions about who she is. She totally came out of her shell last year at camp, after not being so sure if she wanted to attend. There was never a question about if she would attend again. She just loved it.

Evan has grown as a person and matures every year. I can't wait for him to continue the values that he learns while away at camp when he comes home.

First and foremost he really loves to be there and has lots of friends. As a parent, camp provides good, wholesome supervision and activities while we are working. He would just be hanging around the house otherwise.

We love Camp Fitch for so many reasons. It is a happy, fun, spiritual, joyful place. At Camp they learn more about themselves and others and leave a "better" person -- more confident, secure, calm, wise and grounded.

Camp provides a great experience to meet other people, have time to figure out who they are without the pressures of their friends around them, learn how to handle themselves maturely and be responsible for their own decisions.

Camp Fitch is a family tradition now. It helps the kids develop independence and self-esteem. They are able to survive without their parents and enjoy themselves immensely. In school, teachers can tell kids who have had these kinds of experiences. It adds richness to their character.
