Night Hike- Friday, Oct 8

Night Hike Join us on Friday, October 8 from 7-9pm for a Night Hike followed by stargazing and s'mores. The hike will show how effective our night vision is so no flashlights allowed without red filters. Around the campfire, we will talk about the fall constellations and some of the ancient stories that are associated with them. Learn about some of the space exploration missions currently in progress. This hike is an outreach event for the Solar System Ambassador program. For more on the program, visit http://www2.jpl.nasa.gov/ambassador/ . Night hike donation requested is $5 per person. Please RSVP to campbayou@yahoo.com or call 813-363-5438. Hike limited to 20 participants. Camp Bayou is nether a campground nor a summer camp. It was an RV park before the County's ELAP program purchased the land but it is now open for day use only, open to the general public. Through volunteers, donations, membership and grants, the RCDF offers pre-scheduled programs to schools, youth groups, adult groups and families plus it's open from Thursday- Saturday from 9am-2pm for passive recreational pursuits such as wildlife watching, nature photography and trail walks. General admission is still FREE. The Camp Bayou Outdoor Learning Center is a public- private partnership between the non-profit Ruskin Community Development Foundation, Inc. (RCDF) and Hillsborough County Parks, Recreation and Conservation. Camp Bayou is located 3 miles south of SR674 at the end of 24th St SE in Ruskin.
