Join camp staff in March 2021 for our inaugural Maple Syrup Madness. Choose to register for a single-day of history education and hands on support as you tap a tree or select an immersive month-long experience that takes you from the tapping of a tree all the way to the bottling of your very own maple syrup. Register here: https://www.ymcanorth.org/camps/camp_ihduhapi/schools_retreats__group_rentals/maple_syrup_madness Option 1: Maple Syrup Experience Cost: $50 Details: Education history tree tapping materials and support. Up to three 5-gallon buckets to collect sap. Staff help with monitoring sap collection. *Note: this option does not include use of camp’s evaporator refrigeration or tickets to pancake breakfast. Option 2: Maple Syrup Adventure Cost: $250 Details: Education history tree tapping materials and support. Up to three 5-gallon buckets to collect sap. Staff help with monitoring sap collection. Use of camp’s refrigeration (to avoid molding). Use of camp’s evaporator. Participants will register for a timeslot. Bottling of syrup. Four tickets to Pancake Breakfast. A few more things: Specific dates are subject to change. The process of collecting maple sap is entirely dependent on weather. Flexibility in availability is important for this program. Registration is for the program not for the individual participant. You can sign up for either the Maple Syrup Experience or the Maple Syrup Adventure as an individual or with several people. If you would like to fill more than three 5-gallon buckets you will need to register multiple times. This is a very hands-on experience. Ihduhapi staff will help support you but the intent of the program is to immerse yourself in the Maple Tree tapping journey.
