Maple Syrup Experiences

Gather your family and/or your friends group and join us at the Avon Hills Folk School for the annual rite of going to the woods to make maple syrup and continue the tradition of Sugar Camp begun by the native peoples inhabiting present day Minnesota and Ontario east nearly to the Atlantic Ocean.

You’ll have the opportunity to see our Sugar Bush, experience the woods and water of the Avon Hills as it begins to slowly come alive after a long winter. You can try your hand at tapping some trees, emptying some bags, watching the sap boil and trying some “not quite syrup” out of the pan.

If there’s time you can hike along the banks and shoulders of Spunk Creek. Watch the weather and check the snow depth. You may need your snowshoes.

Group Size
We ask that groups be kept to 12 or fewer individuals.
*We are open to flexing this if a family or friends group goes slightly over.
Kids under the age of 6 are not required to register.
