Camp iCare started off in a tremendous way. Ms. Sharon Wilbanks, co-founder of Camp iCare and Director of AU's Early Learning Center, began the morning discussion with an overview of the camp and the definition of philanthropy. She shared how each camper can be philanthropist by donating their time, talent, treasure, and trust in order to create a lasting impact and enduring legacy.
Then, Ms. Faith Woerner and Mr. Cole Leonard provided an overview of the
"Four T's of Philanthropy:" time, talent, treasure, and trust.
Next, Ms. Sid James, Co-Founder of Camp iCare and Executive Director of the Cary Center for the Advancement of Philanthropy and Nonprofit Studies, introduced the core projects of Camp iCare: Donor Vision Board, Because We Care Videos and ePortfolios.

The day continued as the participants joined their assigned groups and started to work on their core projects and other activities.
The older groups went on a shopping spree at the Camp iCare store!
No camp would be complete without yummy snacks and recess! Camp iCare participants had a fun time playing "Miss Kesha Says" and "Ships and Sailors."

To end our day, Coach Reita Clanton, United States Olympian, Coach, and Auburn Alumna, shared her story about growning up in Opelika and dreaming about being an Olympic Athlete and Coach. She was AUSOME with her inspiring message about dreaming big in order to achieve goals. Through a day-dreaming exercise, she gave each participant an opportunity to dive into their "Genius Zone" in order to discover the "knowledge and language in their hearts."
"It was great to see the kids learning how to be financially smart and philanthropically engaged." - Katy Crider, Camp iCare Teacher
