About

Throughout each day at SAMBICA, Day Campers build meaningful connections with their Counselor and cabin-mates, have a blast playing in the lake, and make incredible memories through a variety of engaging activities!

We believe that kids are designed to freely play and experience the joys of fun, creativity, and adventure! Campers have abundant opportunities to play during their time at SAMBICA including games on the field, organized activities, and fun at the waterfront. Staff model the invitation to play through their genuine joy in choosing to be silly and adventurous throughout the day at camp!

While we provide so many opportunities for campers to have fun, we always prioritize safety. From the waterfront to the ropes course and every moment in between, our staff work to ensure safety in all activities. All of our staff are First Aid/CPR Certified and go through safety training and background checks.

Childhood is a vital time to explore faith and ask big questions about the world, life, and God. We give campers a space to do just that. There is daily intentionality from counselors and in programming to open spaces for campers to have meaningful conversations about faith. SAMBICA's vision is to inspire youth to a relationship with Jesus Christ so we want every camper to have the opportunity to know how much God loves them.

Campers learn about God's love for them through hearing a camp speaker daily share from the Bible. Campers also learn about what it means to follow Jesus through engaging in a daily cabin discussion with their counselor. We desire every camper to feel comfortable and confident to bring their unique perspective and big questions to camp!

Whether campers come into the week with prior friendships or start off the week meeting their cabin mates for the first time, they form genuine friendships through being at camp together! Through facing challenges together on the ropes course, bonding over conversations at the lunch table, or cheering each other on to jump off the high dive, campers connect in meaningful ways throughout the week.

Campers are placed in cabin groupings of around ten kids in their age range. While some activities are done in these smaller groups, a large portion of the day is done alongside all the other cabins! This allows campers to form close bonds with their cabin as well as connect with friends and other campers outside their group. Staff help to foster all these relationship dynamics with love, support, and encouragement, making sure that every camper is seen, valued, and connected!
