Ah, mud season — when winter is winding down while spring is just opening its eyes. This transitional time of bare trees and muddy ground offers an abundance of opportunities for play, exploration, and discovery as we observe the special seasonal changes that we sometimes miss at this time of year. Campers can expect opportunities for hiking, free play, nature observation, and an introduction to phenology.
