Maple syrup has a rich (and delicious) past! This tour, guided by Kortright staff, takes participants through the forest on a journey through time to explore the many ways Canada has harvested its favourite sweet treat!
The festival also has a host of activities going on that day from face painting to horse rides, live demonstrations and, of course- opportunity to eat some pancakes slathered in Maple Syrup:)

WHAT TO EXPECT WITH ACTIVEDAYS
To us, facilitating this event is about creating an environment that you can engage with in your own way. This is your experience and everyone has their own relationship with the outdoors and their bodies. We want to meet you where you are at — we have organized a guided tour to learn about Maple Syrup which we recommend going to but it really is up to you how you spend your time!
Active Days is also a community. This is an inclusive space to meet new people, share stories and have fun! To us, there is no better place to get to know someone than the outdoors. We all share a desire to get out, explore and move.
All ActiveDays participants are required to sign a waiver. We will bring printed copies of the waiver to sign on the bus. You can find a digital copy of a sample waiver HERE
