Did
you think there were no fireflies in Florida? Then here's a program for
you! April is the beginning of firefly season in this area of Florida.
Join Camp Bayou naturalists for a paddle around the island in search of fireflies, blinking in their enchanting way, in prime habitat along the Little Manatee River.

Camp Bayou Outdoor Learning Center is neither 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, supporters and grants, the managing non-profit- B.O.L.D. - offers pre-scheduled programs to schools, youth groups, adult groups and families. Monthly canoe tours are now available by reservation only. Check the online calendar for trip dates. The Center is 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 Bayou Outdoor Learning and Discovery, Inc. (B.O.L.D.), 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. Check out the Camp Bayou Facebook page and for more
