School Groups

Nothing can match the excitement of being near live birds to grab a student’s attention and create teachable moments. Birds of prey can be easily used to meet a variety of state science standards and teachers can arrange with the Bird of Prey Center education staff for the program to focus on their curriculum needs.

Classroom Visits

The Bird of Prey Center education staff can bring birds of prey directly to your school for an exciting and informative education program. Students can observe birds of prey up-close as the Birds of Prey educators use inquiry methods and hands-on objects to provide students with an interactive educational experience. The programs also typically include a flying demonstration, allowing students to observe flight behaviors first hand.

Programs can be arranged to occur in a classroom or larger auditorium for 30 to 90 minutes. The Bird of Prey Center education staff can also be scheduled to conduct more than one program during their visit to your school. Cost for classroom visits is $4.00 per participant, with a $200 minimum.

On-site Visits

Teachers can arrange to bring their class to the Center for Birds of Prey for a tour and flight demonstration with the Birds of Prey educators. During the tour, students can see birds of prey from all over the world as the education staff uses inquiry methods to provide students with an interactive educational experience. The students are then brought to the Center’s flying fields for a flight demonstration with live raptors in which the students can observe flight behaviors of a variety of birds of prey, including owls, falcons and eagles.

Programs can be arranged for 1 to 2 hours. The Center is located off of Rte 17 in Awendaw, South Carolina, just outside of Mt. Pleasant. Cost for on-site visits is $5.00 per participant, with a $200 minimum.
