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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I have spent every summer at Camp Fitch since I was 9. It is my favorite place ever. I have met some of the closest people in my life there. I can never thank Camp for everything it has done, and continues to do for me. I love it!!!!

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 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!

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.
