Amplify campers immerse themselves in their chosen artistic pursuit, honing skills with top-notch instructors in music, photo, film (music video making), theater, music production, skateboarding, dance and more. Plus with dozens of fun daily activities like screen printing, DJing, swimming, friendship bracelets, karaoke, dance parties and so much more, campers choose their own personalized adventures.
Everyone deserves the chance to express their most authentic selves and feel joy and compassion through that process, so we provide an empowering environment where campers forge lifelong friendships surrounded by positive role models. Join us at Amplify and embark on a transformative journey of self-discovery, artistic growth, and unforgettable fun.
Immersive Programs
Before arriving, campers choose their creative focus (“immersive”) for their camp sessions. Camp days are split between classes in chosen immersives, under guidance of expert staff and alongside rad, collaborative groups of immersive co-campers, and designed-for-fun elective activities. Then every session closes with a huge FINAL SHOWCASE: often the highlight of the whole summer!
Activities
Campers follow their passions and supplement their immersive with daily fun activities in a “choose-your-own-adventure” format. Amplify has dozens of electives to choose from, like designing and screen printing your own swag—there’s something awesome 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.
Campus
Proudly in residence at Besant Hill School in the beautiful Topa Topa Mountains of Ojai, CA. Set on 500+ private acres with hiking trails, sport + recreation fields/spaces, and state-of-the-art, 25-meter pool onsite.
Dorm Life
Campers live together with counselors and their cohort in beautiful dorm buildings, with 2-3 campers in each dorm. Campers typically choose roommates through fun, fast, friend-forming activities on the first day of camp. Pre-arrival roommate requests are also honored.
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.

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.
