Nonprofit Overview

Mission: Sambica is a light on the lake, inspiring youth to a relationship with jesus christ since 1919. Sambica offers youth summer camps and retreat ministries. During the fall, winter, and spring seasons sambica serves other nonprofit organizations, schools, and churches through hospitality programs. Sambica's quality food, great customer service, and convenient locations provide the perfect setting for reflection, relaxation, and team bulding.
Programs: Sambica provides overnight camps, day camps, and a high school leadership program during the summer months, and youth camps and events the rest of the year. Approximately 100 team members are hired each summer to run the camp operations in roles such as counselors, lifeguards, boat drivers, program operations, and kitchen.
in 2017 the retreat ministries division (events held outside the summer months in january-may and september-december) hosted 88 groups for 55 different organizations. These groups were comprised of 4,128 people and represented 7,713 guest days. Overall customer satisfaction for 2017 was 88%.
sambica offers a 9-month internship to college-aged people interested in learning about and working in various areas of camping ministry. Bible study and spiritual development is the primary focus. The program also covers three main disciplines: self awareness, life skills, and career development. In exchange for housing and a stipend, interns learn various aspects of camp operations and assist with sambica programs. Each week the interns participate in community and individual discipleship as well as practical living workshops to discover their natural skill sets and potential career path.
