CBA Permission Slip – Grade 1- Field Trip to the Birds of Prey/Avian Conservation Center – March 2025

Dear parents of students in first grade,

Exciting news – we are heading to the Birds of Prey/Avian Conservation Center (4719 N Hwy 17, Awendaw, SC 29429) on a field study trip!

Field Study Date: March 21, 2025

Class: English/Spanish

Lead teachers: Brynn Runyon, Rosamaria Cabrera

Purpose:  As part of their unit studying bird anatomy and how to care for birds, students will visit the Avian Conservation Center to learn about rescues and watch a flying demonstration. One of the most unique and exciting aspects of the visitor experience at the Center for Birds of Prey is the free-flight demonstration. Listen closely as an owl coasts past your head without making a sound. Watch as trained hawks and vultures soar with wild raptors above the center’s flying fields. Each flying demonstration includes a period for questions and an up-close visit with the flying team birds.  

Cost: $21/student

Details:

  • Students must wear the Field Study uniform (CBA mint-green t-shirt & khaki pants/shorts/skirt).
