Day Camps

We are excited to offer Day Camps for Summer 2024!
 
 
All the fun of SAMBICA, packed into the daylight! Day Camps are a great way to introduce your young camper to the SAMBICA experience, or give your more experienced camper a fun summer activity.
 
Three camps. Unlimited fun.

A week-long experience for younger campers providing full days of activities filled to the brim with fun games and friendships. A hot lunch is served each day.

For older campers who are ready for some fun! A weeklong day camp maxed out on adventure activities, games, friendships, and more! A hot lunch is served each day.

H2O Campers spend much of their week at the SAMBICA waterfront experiencing our extensive water activities including: swimming, boating, water sports, kayaks and canoes, water toys, and more. Campers still get to try out our classic camp activities such as challenge course elements, archery, inflatables, and more! A hot lunch is served each day.

Safety

Safety is our top priority. Rest assured that when you drop your camper off at SAMBICA, our staff will work around-the-clock to ensure safety in activities, at the waterfront, and with each other. All of our staff are First Aid/CPR Certified and go through extensive safety training and background checks. 

Faith Focus

Childhood is a vital time to ask the Big Questions and explore faith. We give campers a space to do just that. Because SAMBICA's vision is to inspire youth to a relationship with Jesus Christ, daily Bible studies will be run by counselors, making space for campers to ask questions and share their thoughts.
