You will learn about how sugar “gets into” the tree, travel to a maple tree, learn how to recognize maples, and find out about the tapping process. You will also gather around a fire to learn about the “boiling down” process, have a dish of ice cream with warm maple syrup as a topping, and more. Visitors will also have a chance to use an old fashioned brace and bit to drill a “tap hole” into a “tree” and look closely at the features of maple trees.
