Registration open for county’s summer camps
Lee County Parks & Recreation Summer Camp registration is open for programs, outings, and activities at the department’s traditional camps, middle school camps and specialty camps.
Traditional camps are for children who have completed kindergarten through fifth grade. Middle school camps are for sixth through eighth grades. Specialty and special needs camps’ ages vary. Check locations for specific ages.
Summer camp will run for seven weeks from June 16 through Aug. 1. The cost is $85 per week per child, an increase from the previous rate of $75. The adjustment will allow for enhancements of the camp experience by adding more program opportunities, such as an additional field trip at most sites.
Camp sites will participate in countywide initiatives, such as service-learning projects, fitness and wellness programs, and National Park and Recreation Month.
Helpful tips from the registration desk include:
– To register for camp at one of the four large recreation centers — Estero, North Fort Myers, Veterans Park in Lehigh Acres or Wa-Ke Hatchee — obtain a membership first by visiting the location.
– If you currently have a membership at one of these facilities, make sure it is active by calling or visiting the location selected.
– A household account at www.webtrac.leegov.com is needed to register online.
