Maple Bootcamp is a 3-day curriculum that will provide intensive hands-on training for beginner and intermediate maple producers.

Starting the first day we will learn how to assess a potential sugarbush, then build sequentially through all phases of maple syrup production from sap collection to boiling, bottling and sales.

Participants will gain the skills necessary for the safe, efficient, and profitable production of maple products.

Classroom sessions will be held at Lake Metroparks Farmpark with several tours and field trips to local maple operations in Geauga County.

This program is geared to anyone who is seriously thinking about advancing beyond the hobby level or expanding their present operation to the next level.

This popular regional event is held rotationally in Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia.
