Toddler to SK
Our Pre “K” to Senior Kindergarten outdoor experiential school program is custom made to match the attention span and learning personality of your little explorers. Following a blast of fun on our tractor-pulled wagon, traversing open farmland to the edge of the maple forest, your class’s expert program interpreter will lead the young maple connoisseurs into our genuine sugar bush for an interactive discovery of maple syrup’s mysterious wonders. Beneath the mesmerizing mammoth trees, your class will uncover how the watery sap from the tree becomes the sweet 100% Pure Maple Syrup they adore on their pancakes.
Grade 1 to High School
Our Grade One to High School outdoor experiential school programs are curriculum-based to meet your students where they’re at with an array of programs geared to compliment topics of Science and Technology and Social Studies. After a chug-of-a-ride aboard our tractor-pulled wagon, your class will disembark on an interactive journey of discovery into our working Carolinian sugar bush. 100% Pure Maple Syrup is far more than just a sweet delight on their pancakes, and we’re proud to empower your class to dig their roots deep in understanding the depth of this Canadian icon — far beyond its tree-to-table life.
