Let Learning Grow

Callaway's Education Department, the scientific and educational outreach arm of Callaway Resort & Gardens, helps visitors gain a better understanding of the living world. The schedule of activities includes a year-round lineup of classes, lectures, tours, demonstrations, guided walks, and environmental education sessions for all ages.

Birds of Prey Program

One of Callaway's most popular programs brings students face to face with hawks, owls or falcons up close, with handlers sharing how each bird lives, hunts, and survives in the wild.

Nature Hikes & Walks

Guided walks through Callaway's trails and gardens give students a chance to slow down and take a closer look at the plants, wildlife, and ecosystems around them, with a naturalist on hand to answer questions along the way.
