Classic Day Camp Information
Entering grades 1-5
Cost: $369Early Bird Price*: $349
School’s out and SAMBICA Day Camps have a mission: to help children discover their potential through God’s presence. Classic Day Camp offers younger campers all the fun of traditional summer camp without the pressure of overnight stays. This week-long camp provides full days of activities with hot lunches provided in our dining hall. Thursday nights offer day campers an opportunity to camp out overnight at SAMBICA and enjoy a special barbeque, carnival and campfire.
Day Campers will enjoy age appropriate activities including: swimming, water toys (including the Blob, water trampoline, and Iceberg), boating, archery, arts and crafts, nature walk, kayaks, canoes, field games, the game room, mini-golf, the inflatables, and more. Generally, campers will have swimming time each day and will go out on the boats twice during the week. Campers will be given the opportunity to try each of the other activities at various times during the week.
Each day, campers will also spend time doing Bible studies, singing, enjoying skits, or playing games in the Forum, and will enjoy a story or quiet music during Chill Out Time (COT).

If your child needs to miss any portion of their camp session, please notify the main office of your schedule conflicts as soon as possible. All late arrivals and early departures will take place in the main office. Notifying your child’s counselor of early pick up times will not ensure your child will be ready when you arrive; please call the main office at (425) 746-9110. Campers that arrive late or depart early will miss a portion of the camp program and will not be able to make up missed activities. Campers who arrive late Monday morning will miss being in the camp picture. Should you schedule a pick up for your child in the middle of an activity, they may need to miss the entire activity. In fairness to other campers, boats will not be brought back before the scheduled end time of each activity block. Please check with our office manager concerning the best time to pick up your child if they must leave early.
Parents' ProgramThe Classic Day Camp Parents’ Program takes place on Friday from 4:00 – 4:45 PM in the Jepson Forum. Parking is available across the street on the upper field. This is not only a time to pick up your child, but to hear a recap of the week at camp, see the camp DVD for that week and fellowship with your camper's counselor. There will be an opportunity to donate or refund your camper's remaining store money, pick up your own copy of the camp DVD, and pick up any remaining medications from the Camp Medic. Campers will also receive a parent packet which includes their camp picture (if purchased) and other important camp information. If you do not plan on attending Parents’ Program, you must arrange an early pick up with our office at (425) 746-9110. No pick ups may be made after 4:00 PM until the end of Parents’ Program. There is no PM extended care on Fridays due to the Parents' Program. All campers must be picked up by the end of the Parents' Program.
