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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Alex has enjoyed each year. He is enthusiastic as camp approaches and looks forward to the adventure, new activities and friendships. As an only child, I love that he adapts to being part of a larger group. I like that the days are full and no electronics are around. The fact that he plans his own schedule and is independent is a big plus.

At Camp we have an extra energy. We have the opportunity to do new activities, hear each others stories, learn new cultures, make each other happy, and experience the best week of the summer!
