Join us this February for an incredible winter retreat!

Amplify Weekend is an unforgettable two days and nights filled with creativity, connection, and adventure! This retreat offers youth a technology cleanse, incredible creative arts and wellness workshops, and dance parties under the stars. It’s the perfect opportunity to experience a taste of our Amplify Sleep Away Camp or reconnect with old friends. Open to youth in 5th-12th grade, the retreat features an on-site ropes course on one of the top courses in California, safe cabins where kids are grouped by grade with 3 of our staff in each cabin to ensure safety and supervision, and mentorship focused on community building. With sliding scale tuition as low as $40 for the entire weekend, this is an accessible and transformative experience. Free transportation on our staffed busses available from Los Angeles, Ventura and Santa Barbara.

In 2024, 85 youth joined us, and many said it was “the best thing they did all year!”

“This is truly a life changing and amazing experience. When I’m there I can be myself and be supported for who I am. This is all because of the environment that is created: respect, understanding, acceptance, and love are all the values this program stands for.”

— Amplify Youth

“The friends you make here last a lifetime, and I cannot express my gratitude enough. I showed up nervous and not knowing anyone and feel like I’m leaving with so many good friends. Never in my life have I gotten this encouragement and comfort from somewhere else. This is my second home. “

— Amplify Youth

“This program is seriously one of the best out there for pre-teen and teen girls. For the kids who never feel like they find their group and the kids who find their people wherever they go – everyone thrives here.”

— Amplify Parent

“The bonds with the other youth and staff mentors are a big part of what makes this place so special. My kid came home beaming and so creative and wanting to take breaks from her phone and happier than she’s ever been in her whole life.”

— Amplify Parent
