WHY CAMP?

Camp Fitch makes kids better, forever.

Primary outcomes for an impactful and memorable sleep-away camp experience should include the formation of strong friendships, growth in the camper’s sense of self-efficacy, and that wonderful feeling that comes from being in a welcoming natural environment where everyone knows your name.

Research shows that a sleep-away summer camp creates lasting gains for kids in character values such as empathy, getting along with others, independence, and resilience.  Hear from Fitch campers in this video about how their time at Fitch has made them stronger and happier kids.
