Originally, the Cabane à sucre des Sportifs was part of the Majeau family farm. In 1950, Paul-Émile Majeau and his wife took their sugar shack in a new direction, serving sugartime meals to the general public.

In those days, everything was homemade. Meals were transported upstairs to the sugar shack, while people parked at the farm to be driven by horse to the shack. About 25 meals were served at a time.

The Majeau family continued to develop the sugar shack, opening a path for customers and enlarging the kitchen in 1960. The installation of electricity and a further extension followed in 1970.

In 1978, Germain and Christina Majeau took over management of the farm, and then of the sugar shack in 1987, following a fire that completely destroyed the sugar shack in 1986.

The concept of the Cabane à sucre des Sportifs was officially born in the spring of 1987, after Germain and his family rebuilt it. Activities resumed in earnest, with a special focus on entertaining children.

With this in mind, Germain Majeau built a flying saucer with slides in 2000, then in 2005 added a life-size rocket with even more exciting slides.

On January 28, 2006, another fire destroyed the sugar shack, but the outdoor games were spared. The family once again rolled up their sleeves and rebuilt the sugar shack. Germain Majeau lumbered all winter and used his wood to rebuild it. Although larger in size, the new sugar shack retains its unique, antique character.

It was only recently, in 2009, that the harvesting of maple water was switched from the boiler to the tubing system.

Today, children Nick and Annie are actively involved in the family business, preparing to take over for a seventh generation.
