Summer Camp on the Lake

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.

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.

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.

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 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 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.

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 is a family tradition now. It helps the kids develop independence and self-esteem. They are able to survive without their parents and enjoy themselves immensely. In school, teachers can tell kids who have had these kinds of experiences. It adds richness to their character.

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.

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.

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.
