This event offers girls the rare opportunity to experience the 4,000-year-old sport of falconry, or “the sport of kings.” This incredible beginners lesson allows you to feel the thrill of working with majestic birds of prey. The lesson will take place on the property of the Boar’s Head Resort. You will get the chance to interact with a variety of captive-bred, trained birds.
The lesson begins with a flying demonstration and a chance to learn about the fascinating history of this sport. You will be transported to the mews where you will meet the rest of the birds. After learning the appropriate techniques from professional guides, you will get to hold a trained hawk on your fist. This lesson is truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience!
