Lee County Parks & Recreation summer camp registration opened on Monday, Feb. 26. These camps offer a full day of excitement. They are the kind of camps you remember when you went to day camp. Day camp activities include arts and crafts, sports, organized games, quiet play, water activities and outdoor activities, as well as specially planned field trips, such as Mote Marine, Big Cat Habitat, Sky Zone and Sarasota Circus, all thanks to the generosity of the Boca Grande Woman’s Club support. As a part of Lee County Parks & Recreation’s commitment to fitness and environment, all camps will have outdoor activities each day. Boca Grande summer camp will have a 45-child enrollment capacity.

Summer camp open house is 4 to 5 p.m. Thursday, June 6 at the Boca Grande Community Center. Summer camp runs for eight weeks, starting Monday, June 10 through Friday August 2.
