Maple Syrup 101

  • Camp Swatara 2905 Camp Swatara Road Bethel, PA 19507 USA (map)

Next time you enjoy some hot pancakes right off the griddle, take a second to look at your maple syrup. Where did it come from? How did they make it?  What do you know about the maple syrup making process?  Join us for a evening of hands on activities related to maple syrup! We’ll learn all about Maples, and you’ll even get to experience tapping a tree! We’ll then collect the sap, and watch our leaders start the boiling process. You’ll also have a chance to win some fresh, pure maple syrup! This is an event you definitely don’t want to miss.
