Please complete the SAMBICA Scholarship Application to be considered.* Application closes on Friday, February 20th, 2026 EOD.
*Applications are considered after the child is registered AND the $100 deposit is made for camp. SAMBICA will get back to those who completed the application by Friday, March 13th, 2026 EOD.
Campers have the joy of visiting SAM's Place, the camp store, throughout their week at camp. They can purchase candy, snacks, clothes, stickers, and toys galore.
In addition, you can order a printed cabin photo, a Pin Trading Kit, or a SAMBICA Care Package, all of which will be delivered to your camper during the week.
Find instructions on how to add funds to your camper's Camp Store account here.

You can input your camper's dietary needs through the Parent Dashboard either at the time of registration, or post-registration prior to summer. Our Kitchen Team prepares meals to accommodate most allergies and dietary restrictions (gluten free, dairy free, nut free, and more).

Yes! You can pick up your camper early for other commitments anytime before 3:00pm. Please communicate the details of your early pickup with our office team so they can have your camper ready to go! For more questions about early pick up, please email camp@sambica.com.
If you need to reach your camper, you are always welcome to give our main office a call to leave a message, or to request for your camper to make a call to you from our office. We ask that all campers leave their personal phones and devices at home in order to be present for all camp activities.
During overnight camp, you are welcome to call our host phone during the off hours at 425-429-5512 to reach your camper. We also invite you to drop off a care package for your camper which will be delivered to them during their stay.
We do not permit parental visits during camp. If there is an emergency or camper need we will contact you immediately.
SAMBICA is a non-denominational Christian Camp with a vision to inspire youth to a relationship with Jesus Christ. We want every camper 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. Speakers are typically youth pastors from local churches or trained SAMBICA staff. Please contact us directly if you have any questions.
Our summer staff are college-aged adults who are responsible, faithful leaders. We hold extensive application, interview, and background check processes on all employees.
Safety is taken very seriously at SAMBICA. In all areas, staff are trained to keep your camper safe as they enjoy activities.
During the summer we employ Medics who oversee the distribution of medications and provide First Aid for campers. Our Camp Medics are typically pre-medical students or nursing students with advanced training.
Challenge Course: SAMBICA hires certified ropes course facilitators to run all ropes course elements.
Waterfront: Each camper must pass a SAMBICA swim test to swim in the deep end. The test consists of a 30-yard swim, including stopping and change of direction with lifeguards at arms reach at all times. Campers that do not pass or do not wish to take the swim test may swim in the shallower end of the lake and are required to wear a PFD when in the water. Campers may retake the test each day until they pass.
Certified lifeguards are on duty during all swim times. Counselors are also in the water with their campers during all swim times. Our boat drivers are trained and have Washington Boating Licenses. Campers always wear a PFD when on a boat, Seadoo, or water toy. Helmets are mandatory for all campers when riding on tubes or banana boats.
