Camp iCare 2016 is a summer day camp that teaches children ages 6-12 to be financially responsible and philanthropically engaged by providing fun and interesting activities and speakers to campers. Registration is open for this year's camp, which will take place July 11-14 from 8 a.m.-noon each day at Lee-Scott Academy, 1601 Academy Drive, in Auburn.

The cost per camper is $160 and will cover materials, snacks, a T-shirt, a service project, instructors and activities. A few spots are still available and are offered on a first-come, first-served basis.

"Camp iCare is a wonderful program that we have been privileged to watch grow," said Sidney James Nakhjavan, the Drummond Thorne Stukes executive director of the Cary Center. "These campers have so much fun working with our program and we look forward to the camps every year."

Campers who attend will listen to professionals and community leaders and experience first-hand volunteerism with a service project while in a fun and engaging environment.
