SAMBICA, (the Sammamish Bible Camp Association, historically)
began as a youth Bible Conference in 1919. Founded by members
of the Swedish Tabernacle Church, SAMBICA is now a not-for-profit,
non-denominational Christian camp and conference center.
Over the last 91 years, SAMBICA has worked hard to achieve the
current level of high quality programs that benefit our campers and
the surrounding community. SAMBICA is no longer a remote camp
nestled in the woods; it is now immersed in suburbia. SAMBICA’s 30+
buildings are spread over 7 acres on the shores of Lake Sammamish
in Bellevue, Washington.
Today, SAMBICA offers youth summer camps and retreat ministries.
SAMBICA provides both resident camps, day camps, and a high school
leadership program (ELITE) during the summer months. Approximately
80 staff members are hired each summer to run the camp operations
in roles such as counselors, lifeguards, boat drivers, and kitchen staff.
Over 2,000 children attend SAMBICA’s summer programs each year.
During the fall, winter and spring seasons SAMBICA serves other
not-for-profit organizations, schools and churches through guest
group accommodations. SAMBICA’s quality food, great customer
service, and convenient location provide the perfect setting for
reflection, relaxation, and team building.
