With the School District of Lee County’s last day on June 4, FISH of Sanibel-Captiva is providing financial assistance to families for summer camp with its Youth Summer Scholarship Program.
“Summer should be a time for kids to play, learn and just be kids — but for working parents, especially those living paycheck to paycheck, it can be a stressful time,” Social Services Director Nitza Lopez said. “We’re here to help bridge that gap with scholarships that make camp more affordable and give parents peace of mind knowing their children are in a safe, enriching environment.”
The scholarships are available to families with a connection to Sanibel and Captiva through either residency or employment. They are need-based and evaluated case-by-case, offering partial financial support based on income, expenses and camp costs.
On-island options include programs like the Sanibel Recreation Center, Sanibel Sea School and Children’s Education Center of the Islands, along with several off-island camps, as well. With support from Saint Michael and All Angels Episcopal Church, FISH will offer its free Camp Noah again.
For more information, contact Lopez at 239-472-4775 or nitza@fishofsancap.org.
