[August 02, 2007]  DECATUR -- Twelve young people attended Youth Raptor Camp at the Illinois Raptor Center in July. The center is located in Decatur. The participants studied live hawks, falcons, owls and eagles each day of the week, with Friday being the day they combined all they learned into a program they presented to their family and friends.

Mark McDonald, host for WSEC's weekly series "Illinois Stories," attended the program with a television crew that filmed the event. The program will be aired Thursday (tonight) at 6:30 p.m. and rebroadcast on Sunday at 4:30 p.m. and Tuesday at 6:30 p.m.

WSEC is public television for Springfield, Quincy, Macomb and west central Illinois. WSEC is Channel 8 on Decatur Insight Cablevision.

Raptor Camp participants were Alyssa Lowe, Brendan Moody, Ryan Moody, Dan Robinson, Grant Shea, Gus Greenwood, John Nevill, Katherine Rohrscheib, Lucas Burkart, Sierra Buechler, Sydney Buechler and Trevor Henry.

Jacques Nuzzo, IRC's program director, instructed and facilitated the camp. Marty Smith, who volunteers at the center, helped with the camp.
