Falconry The art of flying trained birds of prey is alive and well and happens daily at Boar's Head Resort.

Imagine the thrill of watching our Boar's Head Outfitters team release our trained bird into the trees just behind our main hotel only to have him soar back and perch on his trainer's arm.

Alongside the thrill of watching him soar above the treeline, our staff will also educate participants on the ancient sport of falconry and talk specifics about birds of prey and how species like this survive and function in the wild.

Looking for a great photo opportunity or your next awesome social media post?

You may be in luck because our trainers often allow our falcon to perch on the arms of some of our thrillseeking spectators.

Culinary Team-Building Cooking Classes as Team Building You never truly know someone until you have cooked with them. Put your team to the test in the kitchen as you work together to meet deadlines and deliver results.

After a short introduction including safety lessons and basic knife skills, the group is formed into teams. Each team chooses a team leader and is presented with a "culinary challenge." For the next 1.5 to 2 hours, the teams must prepare the food while following the given guidelines. The main goal is to work together to find inspiration, creativity and trust in each other.
