Mission and programs · 2023

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.

  • 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 150 team members are hired each summer to run the camp operations in roles such as counselors, lifeguards, boat drivers, program operations, and kitchen. 2,199 campers served during the year.

    Expenses $1,070,775 · Grants $63,397 · Revenue $2,053,245

  • In 2023 the retreat ministries division (events held outside the summer months in January-May and September-December) hosted 40 different organizations. These groups were comprised of 3,139 people and represented 14,138 guest days. Overall customer satisfaction for 2023 was 92%.

    Expenses $192,657 · Revenue $231,446

  • SAMBICA offers an Associates program to young adults 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, associates learn various aspects of camp operations and assist with SAMBICA programs. At regular intervals, the associates participate in community and individual discipleship to discover their natural skill sets and potential career path.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Grants received

The 10 largest by cash amount. The API serves every itemized grant.

Other IRS files

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
