Summer Camp on the Lake

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 allows my daughter a time and place to unwind and get away from the everyday things in today's fast paced life. She can unplug, expend energy, and enjoy the outdoors with all of its natural challenges and beauties. In addition, the very spiritual nature of the camp, the devotions and the ceremonies have left an imprint on her heart!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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, 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.

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.

Rusty is a diabetic so he attends the diabetic camp week. I love the nurses and the staff! The counselors have been amazing and he looks forward to the next year at camp. Overall I feel very confident in the staff and the awesome activities. Thank you!!

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.
