Day Camp
2-week sessions ★ flexible dates between June 23–Aug 1 ★ mon–fri, 8:45am–5pm ★ lunch included
Day campers participate in the same immersive majors and electives as our sleepaway campers each day, so they get the full Amplify experience. The only difference is they head home to sleep each night. Not every youth is ready for sleepaway camp, and we totally get that. But here at AMPLIFY, we believe everyone deserves to soak in the fun, creativity, and empowerment we offer! In our Day Camp option, campers in grades 3-8 get to enjoy all the amazing programs we have in store for them from 9 am to 5 pm, Monday through Friday, lunch included! They’ll enjoy immersive creative instruction, engaging elective activities, beach days, ‘THE GRAND FINAL SHOWCASE’, and a whole lot more. The AMPLIFY experience is tailored for everyone, making unforgettable summer memories without the overnight stay.
sessions, tuition + add-ons
Tuition includes EVERYTHING campers need while onsite: lunch, programming + camp events, camp t-shirt, beach trips and our world-famous FIELD DAY… That said, we also have very cool optional add-ons, like surf lessons, post-showcase sleepover, swag at our onsite camp store, and more.
Meet Aria, Day Camp Liaison and Camp Photographer
Hi! I’m Aria. This summer, I’ll be taking on the role of Day Camper Liaison/Camp Photographer. I’ve spent the last four years volunteering at Chattanooga Girls Rock Camp, where I grew up, mentoring young bands. I am a recent graduate of Simmons University with a degree in Arts Administration, I also developed a passion for film photography there. I am passionate about hands-on learning and building confidence in youth, I’m excited to explore California for the first time. Some of my favorite artists are Cherry Glazerr, FKA twigs, Fiona Apple, and Amy Winehouse.
Meet Sophie, Counselor
Hi! I’m Sophie—a freshman film major at the University of Utah who loves silent discos, making short films , snowboarding, thrifting, journaling and Caprese salad. I’m always looking for new things to be excited about and new ways to express myself, which is why I’m so excited to be part of Amplify! It’s the perfect place to explore, create, and just be—which, frankly, I think is the best part of life. I’m so excited to meet you all and help make this the best summer ever!

My 9-year-old wasn’t ready for overnight camp, but Amplify Day Camp gave her the summer of her life. She came home every day beaming with stories!

We prioritize camper safety with trained staff, secure facilities, and strict supervision policies. All staff are CPR/First Aid certified, and we conduct regular safety drills. We also have a secure check-in/check-out system to ensure campers are safely accounted for each day.
Campers are grouped by grade and skill level to ensure they receive age-appropriate guidance and opportunities for social interaction. Group sizes are kept small to maintain a low camper-to-staff ratio.
We take dietary needs and allergies very seriously. Please inform us of any specific requirements during registration, and we will work with you to ensure your child’s safety. We can always accommodate special dietary needs with advance notice.
We encourage campers to unplug and fully engage with camp activities. Cell phones and other electronic devices are not permitted at camp.

Day Camp is for campers who are rising 3rd graders-8th graders
We usually have around 75 sleep away campers and 30 days campers per session. From the moment day campers arrive we are integrating them with ice breakers and making sure they feel just as much a part of our community as our sleep away campers. Day Camp is a great option for local families whose kids are not quite ready for the experience of sleep away camp but who still want to be a part of the awesomeness that is Amplify. We are happy to connect you to other Day Camp families to chat with if you’d like a personal referral.
