Family Field Trip: Maple Tapping and Measurement 2:30 pm

This event is no longer on sale.

Wednesday January 20

2:30 PM  –  4:00 PM

Preregistration is required for everyone. Adult chaperones/parents must register and should attend with their child. Suitable for 5th grade equivalent and older, but older and younger siblings may attend if they are registered and paid. This program is designed for homeschoolers/virtual learners.

Students participants should meet at the Outdoor Learning Center at our Rowe Woods location with a caregiver/designated adult.

Experience the process of producing liquid gold from maple sap from the very beginning! Experience how we tap trees and learn how we’re measuring the health of our maples with community science. Program will include the use of some power tools with adult supervision and simple measuring equipment.

What to wear/bring: Please dress for the weather as this program will take place outside. Bring a water bottle and a mask.

Members $7; nonmembers $11 (includes daily admission). All registrants require payment as all registrations are counted toward the maximum number of participants. Participation is limited.

Designated overseer: If a parent/caregiver is unable to attend an event, the child may attend a program with an adult designated to oversee the experience of the child (for example: grandparent, another homeschool parent, etc.). We request that one adult oversee no more than six children.
