DAY 3 - HONEY BEES 🐝
During the honey bee day, campers will learn all about honey bees and the inner workings of their hive as well as the importance of pollinators on earth.
Over the course of the day, campers will have a chance to see all the equipment used in beekeeping from the white beekeepers suits we wear to protect ourselves to the tools we use while inspecting the hives. Campers will even have a chance to see the bees actively working on frames.
The learning will be taught through demonstration, activity sheets, educational videos and hands on leaning which includes building a 10 frame Langstroth hive, the common hive used by the majority of beekeepers today.
All learning will be geared toward to the ages of the campers and of course everyday includes some farm filled fun in our activity areas. The highlight of the day could be possibly meeting the Queen of the hive!
At the end of the day children will receive a jar of honey from Nith Valley Apiaries where they bring nature’s sweetener from our hives to you!

DAY 1 - MAPLE SYRUP DAY
During our maple syrup day, campers will learn about all the aspects of maple syrup production from the processes used in the past to the modern vacuum and reverse osmosis systems used today.
Over the course of the day, we will be boiling frozen sap to make finished syrup so campers will be able to see the entire process from start to finish. We will use hydrometers and refractometers to measure the sugar content in the sap and syrup as well as cone filters to remove the sugar sand!
The learning will be taught through demonstration, a video produced by the Ontario Maple Syrup Producers Association, activity sheets, books and hands on leaning which includes installing a tap!
All learning will be geared toward to the ages of the campers and of course everyday includes farm filled fun in our activity areas. One of the day highlights will our Sappy’s Sugar Bush Scavanger Hunt!
At the end of the day children will receive a 250ml bottle of maple syrup from one of over 1000 trees tapped in our forests!
