High School Camp

 Over the course of two weeks at SAMBICA, High School Campers experience all the fun and community of camp while also growing through service, deep conversations, and specialized programming. This camp is designed for 10th-12th grade students who are excited to grow in community, teamwork, and life-changing faith. Alongside several awesome SAMBICA staff, campers will grow together through engaging in insightful conversations, enjoying the fun of Rally and Waterfront time, and serving at camp to earn 20 volunteer hours.

High School Adventure Camp

During a week of Adventure Camp, campers experience the beauty and magnitude of God's creation, the challenge of stretching outside your comfort zone, and the power of doing it all alongside new friends.

Campers will build team connection at SAMBICA to prepare for the week, then venture into the wilderness for a three day backpacking trip led by experienced SAMBICA staff, and finally  end the week with a day of outdoor rock climbing.

All meals, transportation, and adventure gear is provided. If preferred, campers are welcome to bring their own backpacking gear (sleeping mat, sleeping pad, backpacking backpack, etc.).

Campers embrace the joys of adventure through getting away into the quiet of nature, and by exploring new or familiar activities that open them up to greater bravery and confidence.
