For those who are interested in signing up their child for summer camp at the North Fort Myers Recreation Center, there is some urgency to do so.
Sign-ups for traditional and middle-school camps kicked off Monday morning, though, while the three other major camps at Wakahatchee, Estero and Veterans Park recreation centers sell out within a day, North Fort Myers usually fills up more slowly.
Last year had the same limitations, but after the start of school was delayed, camp was extended to 13 weeks.
Because of the pandemic and the impact it had on the start (and end) of school, camp will be shortened to five weeks, from June 28 to July 30, and limited to 54 traditional campers and 18 middle school campers, the same numbers as last year.
