Camp Bayou Outdoor Learning Center Youth Programs are a project of Bayou Outdoor Learning and Discovery, Inc. (B.O.L.D.) and are run entirely by volunteers. The programs are funded through programs and the generosity of local supporters. Camp Bayou is operated in partnership with Hillsborough County Conservation and Environmental Lands Management, which owns this ELAPP parcel in the public interest. The mission is to sustain a portion of Florida’s original habitats in the Little Manatee River Watershed and to promote appreciation and better understanding of natural resources, local history, and culture through education. The site includes creatures such as spiders, snakes, feral hogs, fire ants, and poison ivy. The Camp Bayou Nature Notes Blog provides news and events.
