The Portable Sugar Shack and Maple on Snow Programs
When booking please choose either the Portable Sugar shack or the Maple on Snow program
During the Portable Sugar Shack Program, our presenter will give a demonstration on how to make maple syrup from start (drilling holes in trees... don't worry - we use logs not your live trees!) to finish - boiling and tasting! While boiling the sap together with the participants, our presenter will talk about the history of maple syrup and invite the residents to reminisce about their syruping experiences.There is nothing like the hot-cold sweetness of hot maple syrup on snow. In the Maple on Snow program, our presenter will re-enact an early spring tradition that dates back many years. The participants will be able to try their hand at making maple candy on freshly made sanitary snow just like they still do in Quebec City.
