Health & Wellness

“My daughter has been attending Amplify since she was in 4th grade and is now joining the team as staff at 19. Her three siblings are following in her footsteps and I honestly don’t think our family would be the same without this special community. Whether you are into music or photography / film making – your kid will flourish here. No experience necessary either! The amazing staff meet your kiddo right where they are at. Raising four girls, Amplify is always the first thing I recommend!”

“This is a life changing summer camp!! The camp shows girls how to really support each other and removes the element of competition. The result: campers creating beyond incredible creative projects while making life long friendships and feeling genuinely proud of both their own accomplishments and their peers”

“My daughter has attended both Berklee Summer Immersion and Idywild Arts Summer Camp and Amplify blew both of them out of the water. She came home with more technical skills than either program while being more inspired and happy than I have ever seen her. 1000 % worth it”

Camper Safety is #1

Amplify takes place on a gated high school campus that meets all safety standards for schools in California. It is part of our mission to help campers learn how to compassionately encourage their peers to look out for one another, and that includes making sure health and safety protocols are met in all activities and environments. Everyone is required to follow safety guidelines in order to participate in each activity, including wearing hearing protection in loud environments. Our two lifeguards live on campus and are at every pool activity. Campers have access to staff 24 hours a day and there is always at least one director on call at all times.

The Food

The talented chefs at Besant Hill offer a large selection of delicious buffet items for breakfast, lunch and dinner. A salad and sandwich bar, and snacks are available throughout the day. Whether a camper is a picky eater, has food allergies, is gluten-free, vegetarian, or vegan, everyone will find something they can enjoy. Amplify and the Besant Hill kitchen staff are happy to work with families to accommodate allergies, special diets and nutritional needs.

On-Site Health Center

We have a full service health center staffed by two nurses who live on site and are available 24/7. In addition, all of our staff are CPR, first aid and mental health first aid certified. We also have an on-call doctor who will visit as necessary. For illnesses and medical emergencies requiring additional assistance, we follow appropriate EMS procedures, including contacting the camper’s guardian and/or person(s) listed on the emergency contact form.

Medication

Bring all medications in original containers stored in a ziploc bag. With the exception of inhalers, EpiPens and prescription dermatological creams, all medications will be kept in the Health Center and distributed by a camp nurse. Campers are not allowed to be in possession of any medication, including vitamins and over-the-counter medicine. Documentation of all medical needs are kept in the camper Health History form located in each camper’s account.
