Audubon To Hold Mud Camps April 6, 8

The Audubon Community Nature Center will host its Mud Camps for children between the ages of 4 and 12. From 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Monday, April 6, and Wednesday, April 8, campers will adventure outdoors to find signs of spring, search for emerging and migrating animals and plants, and likely discover the importance of mud as the snow and ice melt and the world softens. Because they will be outside, children need to dress for the weather, bring water and snacks and a lunch that does not need refrigeration, and extras of anything that might get wet. The cost is $48 or $36 for Nature Center member children. Additional siblings receive a $5 discount. Enrollment is limited. Paid reservations are required by Thursday, April 2, for the Monday camp and by Monday, April 6, for the Wednesday camp. For more information and to register, call 716-569-2345 and leave a message or go to AudubonCNC.org/Events.
