TRIP DETAILS + INFORMATION 

When it's cold out and there is still snow on the ground, and the days warm up to above freezing, that’s when it’s maple syrup time! You might be shocked to know how few things you need to do maple syrup in your own backyard, with only a few good sized maple trees. We are heading to Dudley’s Syrup Co in Big Lake, MN to learn all about harvesting our own maple syrup! Come join us!

Dudley’s Syrup Co was awarded Sherburne County Farm Family of the year in 2022, and they have invited Little Wilderness out to show us what they do! This event is open to youth accompanied by a parent/guardian, with 20 spots available total. We will meet up at Dudley’s “Sugar Shack” to learn the whole process from start to finish to make maple syrup! We will start by walking the woods, identifying/drill/tap trees, collect sap, boil, and bottle. There will be information on equipment used, the history of collecting syrup, and additional time to answer any questions you may have.

Please dress appropriately for the weather, as we will be spending the majority of our time outdoors. There is a porta potty on site. What is included: A light lunch and drink will be provided. All the youth participants will also get to go home with a sample of syrup to enjoy! If you are registering for multiple people you will need to add that quantity to your cart. For example, a family of 4 will need to add QTY 4 to the cart and check out.
