North traditional summer camp full
By CHUCK BALLARO - | Jun 25, 2021
Summer camp at the North Fort Myers Recreation Center for elementary school children is at capacity with camp for middle schoolers filling rapidly.
All 90 slots for the traditional camp are filled for the shortened five-week camp season that starts June 28 and ends July 30.
For middle-schoolers, there were still some slots available each week, with the numbers capped at 40.
Jessy Zukaitis, traditional camp supervisor, said the numbers have increased from earlier in the spring.
“We were told we could increase our numbers. It’s back to 15 campers per group,” Zukaitis said. “The loosened restrictions from COVID allowed us to bump the numbers up and add more kids to each group.”

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.
