Join us for an immersive falconry experience that you will remember for a lifetime! As part of this class, you'll learn about the ancient sport of falconry and the biology and history of the many different types of raptors used in the hunt (including hawks, falcons and owls). Each participant will learn how to handle a raptor while holding one of our Eurasian Eagle Owls before moving o to the flights. You'll be taught how to properly fly a hawk to and from your gloved hand, one of the Five Skills of the Falconer. We will end the class with a series of free flight demos designed to highlight these amazing birds' speed and agility.

About the American School of Falconry Established in 2014, the American School of Falconry started out with the mission of educating kids of all ages on the sport of falconry and the importance of raptor conservation. One of the most important parts of our mission is the support that we give to our brethren in the Raptor Rehabilitation community. We do this through food donations, conducting fundraisers and providing vital needed services (e.g. bird handling, training, etc.).
