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.

Lee County Parks & Recreation is seeking public input to improve the department
By Staff | Jan 26, 2021
Lee County Parks & Recreation is asking the public to help improve the services and amenities offered by participating in a needs assessment survey.
The survey is conducted every other year and is available in both English https://arcg.is/1zn91L and Spanish https://arcg.is/1KfDLC. The survey is listed on the homepage of the Parks & Recreation website www.leeparks.org and links are available on the department’s Facebook – “Lee County Parks & Recreation” – and Instagram – “leeparksandrecreation” – pages.
Completing the survey is important to anyone who uses any of the Lee County parks or other recreational sites because it allows the public to provide feedback on what the department is doing well and where the department can improve. The survey will remain online until April 30.
