Expectations and Important Information
Expectations
Being an ELITE means accepting certain responsibilities and expectations. If any ELITE chooses not to honor SAMBICA’s expectations and responsibilities, they may be asked to leave and will not be given a refund. Attendance in more then one ELITE session per summer is a privilege based on participation, behavior and attitude displayed during an ELITE's first session at camp.
Schedule Changes
Any known personal schedule conflicts should be reported during registration or Check-In so that SAMBICA staff can be aware and prepare accordingly. We appreciate notification of all schedule changes. If an ELITE must miss a portion of the day due to sports practices, doctor appointments, etc. please let our office know as soon as possible. All late arrivals and early departures will take place in the main office. All ELITES must be signed out by an adult or an authorized carpool member when leaving campus.
Driving and Carpooling
Due to SAMBICA’s current insurance policy, no ELITE participant is permitted to ride in a staff member’s personal vehicle. Due to the limited parking spaces at SAMBICA, ELITEs will not be allowed to bring cars to camp. Please arrange transportation for drop off and pick up. Only those listed on authorized carpool lists will be able to pick up ELITEs. Carpool authorizations may be given at the time of registration, added during Check-In or by calling our main office at (425) 746-9110. Photo ID is required for all pick ups.
Sign In and Sign Out
Each time an ELITE arrives or leaves SAMBICA’s grounds they must be signed in by a parent or adult guardian with carpool pick up authorization. ELITEs are not permitted to sign themselves in or out.
