 Gather around the fire at the sirup camp to learn how the Native
Americans and early settlers collected and prepared sap. Visit the
sugar shack, where the smell of maple sirup hangs in the air.
Journey into the sugarbush to tap a tree. Stop inside the nature
center to sample a variety of sweet treats made with maple sirup,
including candy, cookies, fudge and more.
This program is suitable for adults, children, Scouts and other
interested groups. It's a chance to experience an important part of
Funks Grove heritage. (Funks Grove uses a traditional spelling for
sirup.)
