Welcome to the 2015 FMNP class at Camp Bayou!
This information is for folks registered for the FMNP Uplands module at Camp Bayou. If you did not register this time around, we conduct one module each year, right around this time of year. Feel free to browse the resources as they become available on the static pages on this blog.
The following general agenda will be followed through the next 5 Saturdays but there may be some deviations as time and conditions require. The class requires 40 contact hours so lunch is considered a working lunch. As such, we strongly suggest you bring your lunch rather than try to run out and find a local place to eat- there is no food service at Camp Bayou. There is a small refrigerator and microwave for your use and there will be coffee each morning, sometimes a snack or 2.
