Submitted Photo Four to 12-year-olds have two opportunities in April to spend fun-filled learning days outdoors at Audubon Community Nature Center: Tuesday and Wednesday, April 4 and 5.

The Audubon Community Nature Center invites children to ring in spring away from school with fun, fresh air, and mud.

Spaces are filling up fast for Mud Camps on Tuesday, April 4, and Wednesday, April 5, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Children ages 4 to 12 can enjoy a day of Audubon activities as snow gives way to mud and the sun returns. They can play in the mud, discover the first spring flowers, and ramble through the wilderness.

A day at Audubon is always full of fun and learning, discoveries and adventures.

Children need gear for the weather and extras for when they get cold and wet, as well as a lunch and snack that don’t need to be refrigerated.

Cost for the day is $48 for ages 4 to 12 or $36 for Nature Center member children. Additional siblings receive a $5 discount.

Enrollment is limited. Paid reservations are required by Friday, March24, for the Tuesday, April 4, camp and by Monday, March 27, for the Wednesday, April 5, camp. For more information and to register, call 716-569-2345 during business hours or go to AudubonCNC.org and click through “Programs and Events.”
