A summer Camp Where Girls Can Truly Be Themselves Where Real Creativity and Lifelong Friendships Grow Together For Girls in Grades 3-12 • ACA-Accredited • Safe • Inclusive • Built for Confidence, Not Competition

Trusted by Families. Recognized by Leading Media: Amplify has been featured for its innovative approach to creative education, inclusivity, and youth empowerment.

For over a decade, families have trusted Amplify to be a place where confidence grows, creativity thrives, and lifelong friendships begin. Tucked into the beautiful Ojai mountains just 90 minutes from Los Angeles, Amplify gives girls in grades 3–12 the chance to explore their creativity, build real skills, and discover who they’re meant to be.

Welcome to Amplify! We’re So Glad You’re Here

Hi, I’m Marley, Camp Director at Amplify.

We created Amplify for creative girls who want both freedom and support, a place where summer feels joyful and magical, but also meaningful. At Amplify, the fun and connection of a traditional sleepaway camp are paired with hands-on creative work in music, art, film, theater, and more, all within a community that is deeply inclusive and firmly anti-bullying.

What matters most to us is that girls feel safe, emotionally, socially, and creatively, so they can take risks, express themselves, and grow without pressure.

For younger campers, Amplify is a nurturing place to explore creativity with encouragement and care.
For older campers, it becomes a launchpad, offering mentorship from working creative professionals, real project experience, and guidance toward future creative paths , without the competitiveness of a conservatory environment.

No matter where a camper begins, she leaves Amplify with stronger creative skills, meaningful mentorship, and a deep sense of belonging.

I can’t wait to welcome your family to Amplify.

XOXO
Marley



Check Out Our Programs

Campers grow + evolve every year

Every aspect of Amplify (and all our programs, really) is fine-tuned to best nurture and support youth where they’re at, and where they’re going! That’s why older campers get additional privileges, like more off-campus trips, challenges, and opportunities to be incredible role models to younger campers. Campers also move throughout Amplify with their own age groups, including dorm assignments/location, electives, and creative immersives.

Electric Youth

ELECTRIC YOUTH are Amplify’s youngest family members. For many, it’s their first time at sleep away camp, which is why they have their own dorm section with dedicated staff who move with them from the time they wake up until they head to bed.

Our programs are designed to help campers explore their interests deeply. Music is at the heart of Amplify, alongside art, film, theater, design, and adventure

Immersive Majors

Before arriving, campers choose their creative focus (“immersive”) for their camp sessions. Camp days are split between classes in chosen immersives and electives under guidance of expert staff and alongside rad, collaborative groups of immersive co-campers. Then every session closes with a huge FINAL SHOWCASE: often the highlight of the whole summer!

Health & Safety

At Amplify, camper health and safety are always our top priority. From trained medical staff on-site and secure campus facilities to clear emergency protocols, we’re committed to creating a safe, supportive environment where every camper can thrive.

Elective Activities

Campers follow their passions and supplement their immersive with daily fun elective activities in a “choose-your-own-adventure” format. Amplify has dozens of electives to choose from each day, like designing and screen printing your own swag. We are masters of creative programming and can work with any camper no matter their interest or skill level is.

Camp Culture & Belonging

Amplify is a community that empowers participants through music education, the creative arts, and positive mentorship. We encourage our youth to find their power, be their most authentic selves, and lift each other up.

Premier Facilities

Proudly in residence at Besant Hill School. The premiere facilities are all air conditioned. The Campus is set on 500+ private gated acres with hiking trails, sport + recreation fields/spaces, and a state-of-the-art, 25-meter pool onsite.

Trips

Off-campus trips are one of the biggest highlights families rave about every year. From highschoolers’ rite of passage campouts to beloved FIELD DAYS spent at roller rinks or escape rooms, there’s something rad for everyone! Plus, campers coming 4+ weeks join us on BLOWOUT TRIPS like kayaking Catalina Island or whitewater rafting the Kern River. All trips are age-appropriate, fully supervised, and led by trained staff.

Wondering what a real day at Amplify actually looks like? Gracie, past camper and current staff member, breaks it down in this 2-minute video

“I wanted to say thank you. My daughter loved camp. She had gone to a well-known big sleepaway camp 2 summers in a row, and we both came away feeling like something was missing. She didn’t feel connected or herself there. She told me that at Amplify she felt accepted for who she is and fully appreciated and not self-conscious at all. Can’t imagine anything more we could want for her.” — Parent of a 6th grader, Brooklyn, NY • First-Time Camper

“I can tell by Lemi’s response to camp that the investment is exemplary. The first thing she said to me about Amplify was: ‘Thank you so much for sending me there. I have never been so loved by so many people at one time who were not my family.’” — Parent of a 6th grader, Ojai, CA • 4-Week Camper

“THANK YOU! Especially with being able to teach bass this session, I almost cried this afternoon seeing how talented all these youth are, plus the experience of coming full circle around since I WAS them at one point 🙂 I’m so lucky to be on this team after all it’s given and shown me my whole life.” — Gracie, 18-year-old staff, former camper (for nearly 10 years!)

“My daughter has been attending Amplify since she was in 4th grade and is now joining the team as staff at 19. Her three siblings are following in her footsteps and I honestly don’t think our family would be the same without this special community. Whether you are into music or photography / film making – your kid will flourish here. No experience necessary either! The amazing staff meet your kiddo right where they are at. Raising four girls, Amplify is always the first thing I recommend!” Kellie, Parent of Esme, 22, Zadie, 21, Winnie, 15, and Olive, 11

“This is a life changing summer camp!! The camp shows girls how to really support each other and removes the element of competition. The result: campers creating beyond incredible creative projects while making life long friendships and feeling genuinely proud of both their own accomplishments and their peers” Sophie, 22 years old (past camper, now staff)

vocals

“My daughter had an amazing week at Amplify Sleep Away Camp these past four weeks in Ojai. Wrote a song with 4 other girls and performed for the parents this morning. She had a blast! We’ll be back next year.” — Parent of a 10th grader, Boston • 4-Week Session

“My daughter attended last year. It was her first time ever being away from home. She was so scared, but excited. I could not ask for a better camp for my daughter to attend.“ — Parent of an 5th grader, Washington, DC • First-Time Camper

“My daughter just played me the song she wrote last week at Amplify. It made me cry it was so beautiful. This camp and these counselors opened a door to her creativity that was closed. What a wonderful gift. I highly recommend this camp for girls who need a moment in a nurturing environment to unleash their creative potential. I’m feeling filled with gratitude right now!” — Parent of a 7th grader, San Jose • Multi-Year Camper

“What an incredible two weeks for my daughter! She came home more confident than I have ever seen her. The staff is awesome, they totally rock. We’re so in.” — Parent of a 3rd grader, Santa Monica • First-Time Camper
