Itinerary

What to Expect

  • Your lunch starts with a tractor pulled wagon ride to the edge of the sugar bush, there you will be greeted by your Tour Guide. Stop at the Sugar Maple for a quick presentation about our favourite tree in the forest.  
  • Your guide will leave you at the Campout Crossing where you’ll be shown to your campsite complete with campfire, cozy blankets and your warm lunch waiting for you…
  • To start your experience, enjoy a mini-charcuterie featuring a selection of our gourmet Maple products, Black River Maple Cheddar, crisp crackers, and a pickle. 
  • Next, cozy up with a warm bowl of your choice of Beef and Chocolate Stew, Turkey and Bacon Chili, or Maple Baked Beans, each paired with a fresh buttermilk biscuit from our friends at De la Terre Bakery, the perfect companion to dunk into your chili, stew or beans. 
  • Finish your meal with the dessert of the day, Maple Apple Crisp or Maple Whisky Bread Pudding. 
  • Your lunch wouldn’t be complete without a toasty beverage to enjoy by the campfire; enjoy Maple Tea and Maple Hot Chocolate, or both! Your campsite will be outfitted with a fresh pot of hot water and everything you need to make the perfect cup of Maple.
  • When you’ve had your fill of maple goodies, rejoin your Tour Guide at the Campout Crossing for a fun and informative stroll through our working Sugar Bush on The Sugar Bush Trek and finish the day with a sticky and satisfying maple taffy-on-snow
Coming as a Group of 7 or more?

Each camp site seats up to 6 people. If you plan to create more than one booking in one time slot to accommodate more than 6 people (ie. one family of 4 would like to book a Campout Lunch with another family of 4 at the same time), be aware that camp sites are spaced apart along the trails in our sugar bush. Once your group arrives to the sugar bush, you’ll be brought to your individual camp site but will rejoin for the Sugar Bush Trek following your lunch.

There is one large camp site available for two seatings each day. This site can host a maximum of 12 people and must be booked over the phone.

Book this site at 10:20am or 12:20pm
