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
Join us at our Tree Tappers community festival, where you can go on a hike around our maple grove, help us split wood for our wood-fired evaporator, and visit the Sugar House! Bring the whole family out and experience the Camp Ken-Jockety Maple Syrup operation. There is something for kids of all ages!
Arrival times will be every 30 minutes; ensure your group registers for the same time wave. Activities are spread around camp, so expect a moderate amount of walking. A patch is not included with admission but can be purchased at registration.
