Parents, we have the wonderful opportunity to introduce our kids to the Camp Bayou Outdoor Learning Center, a project of the 501(c)3 non-profit, Bayou Outdoor Learning and Discovery, Inc. This incredible facility is operated entirely by volunteers and funded through programs and the generosity of local supporters. It is a partnership between BOLD and Hillsborough County Conservation and Environmental Lands Management, and it is open to all who are interested in exploring the natural world. Through hands-on learning, our children can gain a better understanding of our environment and its importance to our lives. With the help of Camp Bayou, they can develop a greater appreciation for the wonders of nature and the importance of preserving it.
