Summer Camp on the Lake

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.

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 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 Fitch is full of great people and great facilities. There are tons of opportunities for learning new skills and developing new friendships. Our daughter just loves coming to Camp Fitch! Keep up the great work!

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, 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.

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.

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.

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!

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.
