Welcome to Amplify Sleep Away Camp, a life-changing experience that empowers and inspires youth to explore their passions in music and the arts. Since 2012, we’ve created lasting memories for girls and gender-diverse youth from around the globe, right here in Southern California.
At Amplify, campers immerse themselves in their chosen artistic pursuit, honing their skills with top-notch instructors in drums, guitar, vocals, bass, music production, photography, a cappella pop choir, or advanced rock band. Plus with dozens of daily activities like screen printing, DJing, filmmaking, and more, campers choose their own personalized adventures.
We believe everyone deserves the chance to express their true, authentic selves, so we provide an inclusive, empowering environment where campers forge lifelong friendships surrounded by positive role models who inspire and support them. Join us at Amplify Sleep Away Camp and embark on a transformative journey of self-discovery, artistic growth, and unforgettable adventures.
Immersive Programs
Before they arrive at camp, each camper chooses one focus, or “immersive,” for each session they attend our overnight camp. Mornings are spent in their chosen immersive , under the instruction of experts in each particular area, while afternoons are spent choosing between over 50 amazing activities a week; everything from DJ to Color runs.
Activities
Campers follow their passions and supplement their immersive with daily fun activity blocks in a “choose-your-own-adventure” format. Amplify offers over 50 activity options per week to choose from, guaranteeing something for everyone!
Camp Culture
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.
