Note: Proper clothing is of the utmost importance to the campers’ experience, especially during the winter months. We recommend that several layers of medium weight clothing be worn instead of one heavy coat. This arrangement allows  “ADJUSTMENTS” to be made as weather conditions warrant.  Please arrive at school the day of the Camp Fitch trip dressed accordingly and ready for a great time! Groups attending Camp Fitch are, of course, responsible for arranging good weather!!
