For kids and teens entering grades 3 through 9

The Tradition Continues June 14-20, 2009

The Lake County YMCA will celebrate 35 years of resident camping at Camp Fitch next summer. In keeping with the great tradition that has been established, campers will have the opportunity to enjoy swimming, arts and crafts, nature, archery, sports, horseback riding, campfires, chapel, canoeing, and more. Campers & LITs arrive on Sunday afternoon and leave after breakfast on Saturday.

YMCA Camp Fitch

Camp Fitch is located on 450 beautiful acres on Lake Erie at North Springfield, PA. Campers are divided into girls camp and boys camp. Each has a recreation lodge for indoor activities, showers, and modern plumbing. Campers live with six other campers and a counselor in one of Camp Fitch's unique cabents.

Registration and Fees

Camp Fitch registration will begin in January at the Central, East End, and West End Branches. A $25 deposit per camper is due at the time of registration. The balance of all fees is due May 31, 2009.

NEW FOR 2009 - Parents can make a deposit into their camper's Camp Fitch "bank account" prior to arriving at camp. Doing this in advance will save time during check-in at camp!
