Maple Sugaring Fest & Scavenger Hunt
Join our family-friendly Maple Sugaring Scavenger Hunt, an interactive adventure that takes you all around the festival grounds. Follow clues, visit hands-on stations, collect stickers, and have your passport stamped with unique, one-of-a-kind designs as you discover how maple syrup is made — from historic sugar camp traditions with reenactors to modern-day methods.
Keep your completed passport and enjoy a small maple-themed treat and sticker as a sweet souvenir of your adventure. (It’s just a tiny thank-you — the real prize is the fun you’ll have exploring!)
Pick up your scavenger hunt passport at the entrance while supplies last. Once they’re gone, they’re gone!
