Maple Syrup at Camp Ken-Jockety
Did you know that Girl Scouts of Ohio’s Heartlands’ Camp Ken Jockety is home to its very own sugarbush? Camp Ken Jockety is home to over 400 maple trees! Our staff works tirelessly throughout the year to maintain and harvest sap so you can enjoy our locally-made maple syrup. Our syrup-making starts in January when we begin tapping our maple trees. When the weather is just right, we collect the sap and drive it to our sugarshed. There, the sap is processed into syrup by heating it to evaporate the excess liquid. From January to March, girls and their families are able to help us tap trees, hike through our sugarbush, and celebrate at our Tree Tappers Maple Syrup Festival. You can even pick up materials to tap maple trees of your own!
Tree Tappers Festival
Bring the whole family out to experience the Camp Ken-Jockety Maple Syrup operation. Hike our maple grove, help us split wood for our wood-fired evaporator, and visit the sugarhouse! There is something for kids of all ages, and maple syrup will be on sale! Arrival times will be every 30 minutes so make sure your group registers simultaneously.
