Maple Syrup Sugarbush

Early Years, JK/SK, Grades 1-3

(1.5 – 2 hr) Circle R has operated an educational sugar bush program for over 25 years. Join us for our exciting, interactive, hands-on learning experience.

Our dynamic tour includes:

  •  “tap” a tree – using our ‘safe’ hand drill (brace and bit) with instructor assistance to drill the hole, attach the spile and hang the bucket
  • collect maple sap (students have their own small bucket to gather the sap)
  • see the change from sap to syrup in our evaporator in the Sugar Shack
  • understand the basic concept of making maple syrup
  • taste freshly made maple syrup
  • compare past and present methods of processing maple syrup
  • learn how to identify a maple tree
  • enjoy a tractor drawn hay ride through the sugar bush
  • all tours are age appropriate
  • very experienced, knowledgeable, connecting instructors will lead your group through our exciting program answering all questions
  • nature and ecology appreciation
  • use your senses – see, smell, hear, touch and taste

  • Science and Technology – Exploration and experimentation
  • Life Systems – Growth and changes in plants
