Maple syrup is a food product that most students have enjoyed, and during this homeschool session students will learn exactly where this syrup comes from. We will provide you the chance to take part in the process of making syrup from the sap that’s collected from our maple trees. Learn how this process has evolved over time.

April 29, 2022: Farm to Table
Come experience a day on the farm and learn first-hand how food gets to our plates. Students will participate in three different activities at Camp St. Croix’s Grow and Gather Farm: a study session exploring crop physiology and the soil ecosystem, time working the ground to understand first-hand the needs of plants and animals, and finally, students will experience cooking the harvest. Through these three activities, students will gain experience and make important connections linking their food to its source, the ground!
