Emerson youngsters enjoyed seeing how maple syrup is made during a field trip to Camp Lazarus.
Third graders from Emerson Elementary School enjoyed a trip to Camp Lazarus on March 6 to learn about the history of maple syrup making. They also tapped a tree in the neighborhood and learned that buckets hanging from silver maples could fill in one day. From one gallon of sap, they got 1/4 cup of syrup, which they sampled on top of some ice cream.
Home to many Simon Kenton Council Cub Scout programs, Camp Lazarus is located in Delaware County, Ohio just off Route 23. It is an ideal setting for weekend activities and includes cabin and shelter rentals, BB/Rifle and archery ranges, a pond for fishing, a swimming pool, an activity field, large dining hall with kitchen and plenty of shelter and tent camp space.
