Welcome to the 2021 Winter Activities Guide! Happy New Year to our CCPS Family! As you begin planning for 2022, I hope you will take advantage of the opportunities available in the CCPS Activities Guide. The CCPS Activities Guide began as a partnership between Collier County Public Schools and Neapolitan Family Publishing to provide the community with information related to activities outside of the school day. For ease of use, the activities listed within the guide are divided into categories such as academics, after-school programs, the arts, clubs and organizations, community resources, special needs, sports, and more. The guide is all-inclusive and provides businesses and organizations the opportunity to participate, free of charge. It is my hope that this guide will serve as a resource to help parents easily find the perfect activities to meet the needs of their families. Whether a child’s interest lies in sports, visual arts, or music—or you are looking for tutoring or therapy services—you should be able to find it within these pages. I look forward to seeing our students enjoy some of these happenings as I am out and about in the community and wish you all health and happiness as we embark on the new year! Kamela Patton, Ph.D. Superintendent
