What kind of program is right for your group? How much will it cost? How do I begin? Please refer to this document for frequently asked questions about Education Programs. What is involved with CRC’s traveling education program? We bring live birds to help teach your class what makes raptors unique in the avian world and what actions can be taken to make a difference for wildlife and our environment. We can also do an offsite event during which we set up a display table with information, props, and live raptors. What types of birds do you bring with your traveling program? The types of birds will vary depend on the type of program you choose. However, we usually bring a mix of owls, hawks and falcons. You may add an eagle to any program or event for an additional charge. How long does each program last? How many programs can I have? All of Carolina Raptor Center’s formal education programs last approximately 45 minutes. However, we can modify this timing to best fit your needs. We can do up to 3 onsite programs in a day and 2 programs a day at your school or facility. Are your programs targeted for specific ages or grades?
