Cornell Maple Camp provides intensive, hands-on training for beginner and less experienced maple producers. The 4-day curriculum begins with sugarbush assessment, then builds 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 in the Schuyler County Cornell Extension office in Montour Falls. Field sessions will take place in the Arnot Teaching and Research Forest in Van Etten. The cost for the training and meals is $250 per person. A group discount is available at the rate of $250 for the first registrant and $200 for each additional registrant.
