A music + arts sleep away + day camp empowering girls
Welcome to Amplify! We’re So Glad You’re Here
Experience the best in sleep away and day camps with Amplify—an award-winning and American Camp Association Accredited music and arts program! Nestled in the breathtaking Topa Topa Mountains of Ojai, CA, just 1.5 hours from the vibrant city of Los Angeles, Amplify beckons campers from across the U.S. and around the world.
Our affordable 2-week sessions, extendable up to 8 weeks, offer a transformative journey for campers to delve into their passions. Choose from a range of creative focuses, guided by top-notch instructors in music, photography, film (including music video making), theater, music production, skateboarding, dance, choreography, and more.
At Amplify, the adventure doesn’t stop there. Campers craft their own schedules with daily fully elective activities, providing a plethora of options like screen printing, DJing, swimming, beach days, surfing, karaoke, dance parties under the stars and more. Amplify ensures an unforgettable summer, fostering creativity, a deep sense of belonging and friendship in a secure, supportive, and age-appropriate environment. Join us for a summer like no other!
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!
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. The majority of our campers are in 6th-12th grade.
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.
Dorm Life
Campers live together with counselors and their grade cohort in beautiful dorm buildings, with 2-4 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.
