Education Programs

Our education programs are designed to encourage interest and concern for Florida's  unique, native and migratory birds of prey. Each program is presented to suit your groups needs and interests.

ARC offers wildlife programs to schools, scout troops, church groups, civic organizations, retirement centers and other non-profits. They are great for after school programs or Kids Camps. Kids crafts and art projects can be included to further enhance the learning experience.

We are also available for booking for private parties - We can bring birds of your choice, which you can have your photo taken with, and hear a bit of education about these wonderful birds.

Why Birds of Prey?

Birds of prey make wonderful study subjects for a variety of reasons. They are attention grabbing, and their flight is a wonder. Our programs focus on raptors, their natural history and their importance to us and our environment. We have found that birds of prey are excellent ambassadors for teaching a variety of subjects, including, but not limited to:
  • Natural History
  • Biology
  • Math & Physics
  • Conservation
  • Art & Photography
Our programs include:
  • Introduction to Floridas's native birds of prey species as well as several migratory species and their specializations.
  • Up close observation of live birds of prey and, at our center, the chance to see our birds free fly.
  • Discussions about habitat, diet, history, and conservation issues.
Our programs can be presented to all age groups and be given off-site or on-site.

Photo Clubs

Photo Clubs and Art organizations can enjoy close up viewing of our birds for excellent photography and drawing opportunities. We have had many wonderful groups of photographers visit, and we are always happy to accommodate photo clubs. We have a variety of perches, and you can observe our birds outdoors or inside!
