SUMMER CAMP

Our summer campers tell us that Fitch feels like their second home...

At Camp Fitch, our Summer Camp provides boys and girls aged 6–17 with a holistically safe community where they discover friendship and achievement. Kids feel like they belong here among our carefully vetted, highly committed, and caring staff. Our gorgeous and well-maintained site on the shore of Lake Erie has been the setting for our intentional culture of putting Christian values into practice for over a century. A transformative Fitch experience is among the most important a child can have to develop independence and self-confidence.

Cost should never be the reason a child cannot attend any of our programs, so please contact us if you would like financial assistance to attend.

We have several experiences for your kids in our Summer Camp program depending on age and interest: each experience is described below. Cast off the bowlines and come dream, discover, and explore at Camp Fitch!
