Upper Elementary Fellowship

3rd – 5th graders!!!

Camp Bayou offers youth programs to explore nature topics to help understand and appreciate Florida’s outdoor beauty and biodiversity. Students engage in activities that bring them up close and personal with the world around them, with a Florida focus.

Because we are a smaller group we are going to do one of their focused programs!

Hut Construction– Look at how the hut in the native camp was put together and try a team-building activity to build your own shelter.

We do have to give them a final headcount a day or so beforehand so please RSVP below if you plan to come!

– Shoes must be worn at ALL times. Open sandals not prohibited but visitors may encounter fire ants, poison ivy and sandburs.
– We have a screened pavilion with picnic tables if you wish to bring your lunch. No meal service available on site or within 5 miles of preserve.
– Trail walks and activities are not strenuous or unusually long but it is advisable that each child bring water during the hotter months.
