I think it's a great experience to be away from the city, cell phones, TV, and anything related to electronic. Camp Fitch is a great outdoor experience and it's also a great time for children to experience being away from home, gaining some independence, and learning how to follow the lead of another adult besides the ones their every day world.

She loves the activities and the chance to meet new friends. She loves the independence of being away from home for a week and making decisions based on her interests.

It gives him a chance to explore life in a controlled setting while gaining needed social skills and computer programming skills. As a high functioning teen with autism he needs to learn how to connect with others on his own.

I love that there are no electronic devices allowed. Camp provides a beautiful outdoor space, fun activities and a unique experience to sleep outdoors in the cabents. My daughter also made a lot of new friends and tried a lot of new activities. It was an even better experience for her (and us) than I had anticipated!

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.

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.

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.

I loved Camp Fitch as a kid and want my kids to have the same great experience I had.

We picked Camp Fitch initially to give our child an opportunity to interact with other children and experience some independence. She immediately fell in love with camp.

I have such a good time at Camp Fitch. It's always the best part of my summers and brings so many kids joy and happiness!

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.

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.
