Each and every role at SAMBICA plays a part in creating an extraordinary experience for thousands of campers each summer! Like the body of Christ, each team walks in collective unity while fulfilling unique responsibilities. In addition to specific team responsibilities, every staff member also participates in all staff meetings on Sundays and Fridays, a weekly small group, weekly camp cleanup, and once a week dish duty. During our 4 weeks of overnight camp, all staff participate in roles in the evenings to facilitate an exhilaratingly fun and meaningful experience for our campers.
