Registration open for county summer camps
Lee County Parks & Recreation’s Summer Camp registration is open for programs, outings and activities at traditional camps, middle school camps and specialty camps running from June 10 through Aug. 2.
Traditional camps are for children who have completed kindergarten through fifth grade. Middle school camps are for youths in sixth through eighth grade. The specialty and special needs camps ages vary.
Parents will be able to register for camp at the Wa-Ke Hatchee Recreation Center. The center was closed last summer and is currently closed for building renovations from Hurricane Ian damages. It is set to reopen before camp begins.
Camp sites will participate in countywide initiatives, such as service-learning projects, fitness and wellness programs ,and National Park and Recreation Month.
