So What’s Camp Like ?
At Amplify, campers choose a creative focus that inspires them:
🎸 Rock Band – Learn guitar, drums, bass, keys, or vocals, and write an original song with your band to perform at our final showcase. No experience needed—plus, an Advanced Rock Band track is available for youth with 2+ years of experience.
📸 Photography & Fine Arts – Build your visual voice through hands-on workshops in photography, painting, collage, and more. Create stunning photo essays and original artwork to take home or include in a future portfolio.
🎭 Musical Theater – Step into the spotlight in our supportive, high-energy theater program. Rehearse and perform scenes, songs, and choreography for an audience of fellow campers and staff.
When campers aren’t in their immersives, they’re exploring a wide range of fun and creative activities—like DJing, screen printing, photography, or spending their afternoons at the beach, swimming, or making art. Evenings are all about connection and fun, with karaoke, dance parties, talent shows, and time to relax and bond with friends under the stars. Want to record a demo, perform on stage, or build a college-ready portfolio? That happens here. Want to unplug, laugh your face off, and have the most you summer ever? This is your place.
Immersive Majors
Before arriving, campers choose their creative focus (“immersive”) for their camp sessions. They also choose a “minor”. Camp days are split between classes in chosen immersives, minors 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!
Minors
At camp, campers can now sign up for our new Minors program, where they can choose a secondary focus like music production and creating their own demo, podcasting, or skateboarding. Minors provide additional learning opportunities but don’t replace time spent in their immersive Majors or Electives.
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.
