Saturday, June 1 is National Trails Day. There will be cart tours, scavenger hunts and other activities. New this year is our guided Fern Walk, starting at 9:00am. Explore the wild west side of Camp Bayou, for a trail that is less traveled. No registration necessary. An 8am Fun Run will hit the trails for an easy 5K. Registration requested online (https://forms.gle/bVvX2HR3vqdvEMzY7) Those who complete the run will be treated to ice cold watermelon slices as a reward.
The Third Saturday Paddle Tours continue through the summer, as weather conditions allow. Be sure to reserve your space if you wish to join the group- just call 813-641-8545. You can rent a canoe or kayak for just $25 or bring your own for a $5 donation. Please arrive by 9:00am for a 90 minute tour.
Save the Date: Saturday, August 3, 2019 is our annual Back to School- Back to Nature event, 9am- noon. Kids visit various nature stations and get a free school supply item, plus raffles for backpacks, binders and more!

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-registered 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 Conservation and Environmental Lands Management. Camp Bayou is located 3 miles south of SR674 at the end of 24th St SE in Ruskin.
