We THANK everyone that helped with our fall fund raiser!

Our center really does depend on the wonderful help of so many great people in our community.
Thanks to many helping hands we had volunteers, sponsors and lots of new visitors to our center.
Our volunteers helped in so many ways; in the kids tent, at story time, our "Raptor Room" classroom, the
educational enhancement shop, selling ARC concessions, and helping watch the birds.
We had really great sponsors of our Fall Owl Fest again this year and many local participants that set up
educational booths, interesting yard ornaments, great treats and some just really great information to be
shared about our wonderful native habitats.
We can always use good volunteers at ARC,
if you would like to volunteer at ARC  PLEASE give us a call!
We always have so much going on and

we can REALLY use the help!
THANK-YOU!!

ARC Kids Camp
The Avian Reconditioning Center is a not for profit
birds of prey rehabilitation and education facility.
One of our main focuses is the physical reconditioning
of raptors that have been inactive for an extended
period of time while recovering from illness or injury.
We also use falconry techniques to evaluate a bird's
chances for survival in the wild after recovering from
an injury and to teach young birds how to hunt.
Education is a primary focus as well and we provide
many education opportunities using live birds of prey.
