Summer Camp on the Lake

We like the "classic camp" feel with a variety of activities like archery, horseback riding, swimming, and Lake Erie time. We like the cabent model. We appreciate the affordable price.

It shows him that there are many other types of people out there in the world. The school year can be very stressful with nasty kids singling out any one who is not popular. Puberty intensifies these feelings of being left out.

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.

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.

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 am a single mother and cannot afford a family vacation for the whole family, thanks to your scholarship program the children get to take their own vacation to Camp Fitch.

When I pick him up from camp he is glowing, beaming with Camp Fitch joy. He told me that camp is his summer home and the Camp Fitch Bunch is his family.

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.

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.

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!

My daughter and I are very close. I feel at times that this bond has been her crutch to break out and believe that she can do things without me. Camp allows her to see in herself what I see in her every day.

Kyle has come out of his shell during the three years that he has attended the camp. Because of the Leadership Development program he has started being more involved with teaching at church and volunteering for mentoring programs through the school system. He very much wants to spend the summer at camp next summer as a counselor.
