Fitch Camp is a non-profit agency dedicated to providing quality supervision and fun activities to the children of Dowagiac. We gratefully accept any donations you may wish to give to help fund our programming, updating equipment and facilities, to ensure children for years to come are afforded this same opportunity.
Miss Dowagiac and her court visited us one day for a tour of the camp! Our very own counselor, Abbey just so happens to be on the court! The queens helped out during craft time and were able to share with the campers about some of their duties!

Hey Parents! Mudslide day is next week Monday (15th) and Tuesday (16th). This is a good day to send extra clothes, towels, and/or bathing suits with your kiddo.
Due to the heavy rainfall and possible flooding today, camp is cancelled for today, 7/10.
Due to the impending severe weather today, camp is cancelled for today, 6/25.
Campers enjoyed week one of the 2024 season. The hot temps didnât stop the fun!
Camp begins this week, so we wanted to post a few camp reminders! Bring a water bottle, sunscreen, towel, and bug spray.
With just a little over two weeks until the beginning of camp, we had our good friends from Aust Plumbing out to turn the water on for the summer.
Aust Plumbing has been giving us great service for the last couple of years now. We encourage you to give them a call if you ever have any plumbing needs.

âWill we have camp today due to the weather?â This is a common question that we hear. We do have an indoor space that campers can use if the weather is inclement, so we rarely close camp. If the weather is severe enough and we do have to cancel, we will make a post on this page.
It has been a fun first week! Fitch Camp 2023
