Why SAMBICA?

20 minutes from Seattle!

The best place for a young adult to be, Seattle is full of life and brimming with many opportunities. During your summer, explore downtown (20 mins away), discover great hikes (30 mins away), and take trips to Canada (2 hrs away) or Portland (4 hrs away)!

SAMBICA is conveniently located in Bellevue, just a 10 minute drive from major grocery stores, shopping centers, and churches. 

Staff Experiences

Throughout the summer, staff get together for food, fun, and fellowship organized by the Full Time Team. Designed as a relaxing time away from campers, these events focus on drawing staff from different teams together, providing a space to recharge, and experience camp just like our campers!

Covenant Groups

Covenant Groups integrate staff from every team, as well as allow staff to be poured into by Leadership Team members on a weekly basis in a small group setting. With separate men and women's small groups created by our devoted Full Time Team, Covenant Groups pray for one another, encourage each other in each of their roles, and share about their experiences at SAMBICA. 

Discipleship Opportunities

SAMBICA recognizes the value in setting time aside for staff to experience fellowship and be poured into by Leadership Team members in a variety of discipleship opportunities. Through early morning prayer, worship nights, or street evangelism outings in Downtown Bellevue, there are plenty of ways to experience spiritual growth outside of camp hours.
