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.

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.

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!

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 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.

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.

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!!

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.

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.
