Our class/tour consists of viewing tapped trees (during syrup season only), a guided tour of the sugarhouse facility and equipment, possibly watching us boil sap and sniff the heavenly smell of syrup steaming,  a narrated slide show of the sugaring process, a history of sugaring and other fascinating facts about maple will be discussed. Maple syrup and sugar samples given during class. Sap samples given out when available.Presentation material will be based on age of the participants, great class for ages 3 - 99! For the younger set, a picture book will be read aloud also. The class lasts approximately 1 1/2 hours, and participants will take home a "Maple Facts" sheet, & a sample of maple sugar candy. Children  will also receive a coloring page, crossword and word search puzzles.
