Maple Syrup at Camp Ken-Jockety
Girl Scouts of Ohio’s Heartlands’ Camp Ken-Jockety is home to its very own sugarbush! There are over 400 maple trees on the property. Girl Scout staff works to maintain the trees, harvest the sap, and turn it into maple syrup for you to enjoy. 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 the sugarhouse. There, the sap is processed into syrup by heating it up over a large stove and evaporating the extra water. Interested in learning more? From January to March, girls and their families can help us tap trees, hike through our sugarbush, and taste maple syrup made at camp. To wrap up maple season, we celebrate all our hard work at the Tree Tappers Festival! If you want to show off your maple experience, you can even buy a special patch at the Girl Scout Shop.
Tree Tappers Festival
Join us at the Tree Tappers Festival to celebrate the end of the maple season! Join other girls and families in a pancake brunch, maple crafts, and guided hikes through our maple grove. You'll get the chance to try maple syrup made from sap collected by Girl Scouts at camp! Stay for as long or as short as you want—this program will be self-led. This program is an all ages, family event open to family members of Girl Scouts. There's something to learn for everyone!
