For children - Become a falconer for a day

At the Falconer school, the children are the falconers. They learn the basics of the profession, understand safety precautions and learn how to behave around the birds. We prepare the food and when it is ready, we all go out and fly with the birds.

Invite your family, friends or schoolmates for a fun and different activity for both kids and adults. Working on a project together is a fun and interactive way to learn new things together, but we also encourage independence to build self-esteem. Some will find that they are braver than previously thought and return with a great sense of succes. The experience will definitely create life-long memories.

The programme is adapted to the age and ability of the participants.

    For all children with the courage for a learning challenge

    Again and again, we see that the collaboration between our birds of prey and the children is something special. The children listen attentively, are completely focused on the task in front of them and have the most amazing reactions and reflections when they get up close to the birds. Many come home with a great feeling of success and a lot of exciting stories.
