Absolutely Outstanding Experience!As a parent, choosing the right summer camp for your child can be a daunting task, but Amplify Sleep Away Camp exceeded all of our expectations and more! From the moment we arrived, the staff’s warmth and professionalism put both our child and us at ease.The camp’s facilities are top-notch, blending the perfect mix of fun, safety, and learning opportunities. Our daughter had an absolute blast engaging in a variety of activities that were both enriching and entertaining. The counselors are not just staff; they are mentors and role models who genuinely care about each camper’s growth and well-being.What truly sets Amplify apart is their dedication to fostering a nurturing and inclusive environment. Our child came home brimming with confidence, new friendships, and countless stories of adventures and personal achievements. The camp’s emphasis on creativity, leadership, and community-building is truly commendable.

This is my daughter Melanie’s 2nd year going to Camp Amplify. Every year it just amazes me how impactful and fun this camp has been to her summer experience. When I pick my daughter up from camp she spends literal hours talking about her time at camp and how much fun she had the last 2 weeks. I cannot express enough gratitude and admiration for this camp and the environment they have created for my daughter. This is the one thing she comes home from and says I just cannot wait until next year. Thank You so much to all of the staff and the director for giving my daughter and everyone’s children the chance to learn and grow and just have fun! It truly means the world to me, you are very special people and we cannot wait for next year!!

Amplify Girls camp was a life changing experience for my daughter . It boosted her confidence & gave her a life reset .When she returned home her relationship with her phone changed , she expressed feeling so much better not having it . The creative activities Amplify offers are the dopamine the kids need to replace the screens .My daughters talents are rekindled & her voice is powerful ! What an absolute gift this camp is to all young women !Forever grateful mother 💝

I’ve worked at several camps and part of the public school work force. Thankfully all the values I’ve learned and how to implement them is all thanks to Amplify. This place is home. I loved my times teaching campers how to read music, sing with healthy technique, and create lyrics with individual and team work aspects involved. Not only that I loved that Amplify let me talk about all musical artists that represent LGBTQ+ and BIPOC community through a musical and historical context. If you’re looking for a social just, musical impactful, and a brave space for your child to lean into. This is it!

So excited to spend the summer at Amplify! Empowering campers and staff is my goal!

An amazing organization! Super proud to have spent time as a lead for the latest Syryn cohort!

My daughter is getting ready to attend Amplify this summer for the third time. Once reluctant to sleepaway from home, she looks forward to this experience each year. The accommodations are fantastic, great food, endless activities, and amazing opportunities to connect with others who have a passion for music and creative arts. The counselors seem relatable, approachable, creative and wonderful. Everyone is so encouraging and supportive. It is a welcoming environment that fosters new friendships. It is a great place to go to be yourself, hang out, collaborate with others and make lasting memories.

My daughter has attended this camp for 2 years in a row and has begged us to add on another session this year. Every year she comes back from camp having grown in her confidence, sense of self, and musical ability. We love this camp.

I learned how to play bass at Amplify in 2013. I was only 8 years old. Since then I’ve been a camper, teen council member, intern during covid, counselor during the summers, and am now the year round social media manager and bass instructor during the summer! I haven’t missed a year <3 Amplify is so much more to me than a summer camp. It’s so much more than just learning an instrument or a new skill. Amplify has without a doubt made me who I am and allowed me to be unapologetically the best version of me that I want to be. Coming back as staff allowed me to keep the magic going.I’ve got to see firsthand young girls find hope, power, and love within themselves to be who they are and want to be. I’ve seen them come to camp shy, and leave bolder and braver than ever. I know it’s true because not too long ago that was me! Jen Baron created a beautiful space, and a life changing program when she started Amplify. I am forever in awe of this program and the people I’ve gotten to meet and will meet through it, the skills I’ve learned most musically and emotionally, and the lifelong memories. I hope to stay a part of Amplify forever. ⭐️

Omg! My daughter was so excited about this camp and being able to be with her friends, and make NEW friends. She came back home so happy and excited to tell me her experiences with the program and helped my daughter with her social anxiety with opening up more. I highly recommend this program and your kids will too 🦋

Amplify is a great program with the most caring staff. My daughter looks forward to every lesson and summer spent at camp. The afterschool and summer camp programs are amazing! The program definitely encourages creativity and self confidence in girls.

Amplify is my daughter Bradie’s FAVorite camp – this summer will be our 4th, and Amplify is something my daughter calls the highlight of her summer. Things that Bradie especially enjoys is the casual camaraderie, and how the campers in her track are grouped with instrumentalists into casual bands to allow them to combine their creativity in an informal but guided way (she’s a vocalist). The end of session “jam” is the closing finale and not to be missed! As a parent, I also appreciate the convenient transportation options as well as the “screen free” philosophy. This will be our last summer at Amplify (unless my daughter comes back as a counsellor) – highly recommend for girls and young women to enjoy a creative, supportive experience!

My daughters have attended for 3 summers now, because it’s an amazing experience!It’s always shocking to me how much they do in a two week span.My oldest has always been a pretty shy person even struggled with social anxiety, but when I saw the pictures of her performing on stage! rocking out on an electric guitar, it nearly made me cry tears of joy. Her new found confidence really helped with the first weeks of a new HS, she also continued her lessons in base.My two younger daughters also discovered their passion for photography and song writing. I love this camp because of the space they have created for these girls, they bond, and grow together, and they are exposed to music in fun and relevant manner to their age. My youngest made so many friends, even has “besties” who she talks to via text on regular bases but she lives on the another side of the country, yet they are still close and the friendship only grows then they reunite at camp, which always makes camp that much more exciting. I’m very grateful for the opportunity to send my daughters here, and will continue to.

Amplify constantly and consistently proves themselves to be at the forefront of youth oriented creative experiences. Whether it be internship opportunities, camp, or events. You can be sure that everything is done with love, care, and passion. Amplify fosters a safe and loving environment where everyone feels supported and welcome. You will leave one of the greatest experiences of your life with lifelong friends! I can’t think of a better organization for youth than Amplify.

I’ve worked at Amplify Sleepaway Camp for four summers now, and I highly recommend it! The work is so meaningful and fun. Girls of all musical skill levels leave with friends, mentors, and loads of confidence.There are plenty of fun opportunities for staff to meet new friends, go on local trips, perform, and learn new skills. The compensation is generous and the work schedule (which includes days off) is fair. Whether you’re a first-time counselor or an experienced performer or music teacher, working at Amplify is a fantastic job!

**Five Stars! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐**My daughter attended Amplify Sleep Away Camp and had an absolute blast! The counselors were amazing and created an unforgettable experience. This camp provided her with memories that will last a lifetime. Highly recommend for any parent looking for a fantastic camp for their child.

Even though my daughter isnt as musical as the others, there were many other options – so she chose photography and enjoyed the other aspects of the camp. At first, she was nervous for going and then as soon as she met friends, she was fine. Very empowered and inclusive camp, which was important for us to teach confidence in a difficult stage of life (middle school)!

Our daughter started last year at Amplify. She felt so at home with the incredible staff and super sweet group of girls. She grew a lot musically and had so much fun. We’ll be back this year! Thank you!!

My daughter attended Camp Amplify recently and they were so accommodating of individual needs which we truly appreciated! It’s a lovely campus and my student had a great experience not too far from home.

My daughter loves Amplify for the warm staff, fun learning tracks, and girl empowerment messages. We didn’t know what to expect the first summer she went but it turned out to be the best way for her to get out of her bubble and explore a more creative side.

My daughter is an avid musician, she’s always spent her summers playing and writing music, at home alone. When we found Amplify she was so excited! No annoying boys (lol), just rocking out. We’ll be back every year.

When I first attended this camp I was very young and just got interested in music. I quickly made friends and always felt I had people to talk to. This camp helped me deeply learn about music and who I am as a person. It’s a great experience and I never miss an opportunity to go. Each year I go I feel more connected to music and each year I make more friends from around the world as much as reconnect with friends I made in the last.

Such an amazing camp! I went to camp last summer, to their spring break weekend, and am going this summer. Amplify is such a welcoming, fun environment and I have met so many great staff and campers that I still talk to. I literally cannot wait to be back in a month 💕

I had been going to this camp for a long time before I became an adult and it definitely shaped me as a person. It was a summer home filled with friends and memories I will cherish forever. Love this place and my kids will be going here hopefully one day!

This is my favorite place in the world. The staff is amazing and I made so many forever friends here. 10/10 love love love

Amplify it’s simply wonderful, the activities are the best and the environment of the place is magical. The musical activities are without a doubt what I have loved the most. 100% recommending, I hope to return soon!

Very great camp that was very fun for my kid and also taught them a lot. 100% would recommend.

I went to Amplify last summer and met some of the coolest people I know and had so much fun! The food was amazing along with every person there!!

Amplify is a wonderful organization that empowers girls through an open minded approach integrating creativity, joy, and new experiences, all the while uniting girls with common interests. Whether it be rocking out on the drums, bass or with a microphone, or diving into photography or expressing one’s style through video making, this program’s goal is lift girls up to be their most amazing selves, exactly as they are. Highly recommend!

I’ve worked at Amplify for the last 2 summers, and it’s been life changing in so many ways. I’ve built relationships that I know will last me a lifetime. I’ve experienced things and gone to places I’d never see without Amplify! I had the opportunity last summer to be a counselor while my younger sister was a camper, and it’s one of my all time favorite memories. I couldn’t be more grateful.

This camp is made up of passionate people who are dedicated to the arts and empowering youth. Working here changed my life in countless ways.

Our first experience with Amplify was a weekend camp for my stepdaughter and she LOVED it! She had a blast and we love the tech detox. She said she barely even missed her phone, she just wished she had it for pictures! Thanks to their generous scholarship we are able to send her for two weeks this summer, this time with a disposable camera ☺️. She is so excited to go back!

My daughter had a wonderful time at Amplify both at the summer camp and the March Weekend. She became part of a band which performed at the showcase. They created their own logo and made shirts. The wrote a new song together and leaned a classic. They got to swim in the pool at the lovely school and visit the beach for beach days. A great combo of nature and music exploration. On top of that she said the food was amazing. She will definitely be back this summer Thanks to everyone at Amplify!

My daughter had the best time and was in really good hands. She loved the food, her fellow campers and the staff. She also learned how to play the drums to boot!She has talked about camp throughout the year and is SUPER excited to attend again this summer. I have also noticed a huge improvement in her maturity and confidence this year and I give Amplify a lot of credit for that. I am grateful to the staff and all the amazing things they do for their campers.

My daughter went first to camp all the way from Ohio alone!! Amplify offered a scholarship in order to make it affordable for our family. While at camp she learned to be a strong solid woman. She met new friends from all over the country!! What a great opportunity this camp is for her and our family!! The camp was easy to contact and I felt that my daughter was well taken care of from the minute they picked her up at the airport to the minute she was taken back for the long flight home. This is a big trust to allow these ladies to take care of my daughter so far away and I felt completely comfortable!! She cannot wait to get there again this year!!

I taught at amplify last summer and am so excited to be returning again this summer! Amplify is such a warm, supportive atmosphere to be surrounded in & it is a true joy to watch the youth grow in confidence and make lifelong friends.

This was my daughter’s first sleep away camp without friends and we were all nervous. The staff was amazing making her comfortable and she had the best time with all the activities, her time being creative and making new friends. the first thing she said when she got home is she wanted to go back again.

My daughter went to Amplify for the first time last summer as a rising 3rd grader. It was the first time she spent any overnights away from home without family and she was very nervous, and honestly, so were we. We were hoping to find an activity for her that would help give her a little bit of independence and help to build her self-confidence and give her an outlet for self expression and boy did we hit the jackpot! Not only did she stay the whole week, but she didn’t want to leave at the end. We saw amazing growth in her in so many positive ways and are so happy that the experience she had at Amplify played a role in that. All of the staff and teachers were incredible; they were not only skilled but welcoming, comforting, safe and fun. The different tracks and activities available to the campers are amazing, and we heard nothing but rave reviews about the classes, the other campers, the staff, and the food! She is so excited to go back this year and spend two weeks. We are so happy we found Amplify and recommend it every chance we get!

My daughter absolutely lovedddd this camp!! She enjoyed making new friends and all the fun activities they planned! The staff there is amazing and really cared about my daughter and all the other campers. The camp does not allow devices but my daughter said she really enjoyed the break away from screens! This camp is amazing and I would recommend it 100%

We are so thrilled we found Amplify! My daughter loved her experience and is excited to return for 2 weeks next month. The Amplify Team of counselors and leadership have the whole sleep away camp experience dialed in. Amplify is a great opportunity for young girls to gain confidence and learn so much from collaboration and friendships.

I went to Amplify sleep away camp for a recruiting weekend in mid January of 2023. I still think about that experience all the time. i made some amazing friends who I still talk to today. It was the most fun I’d had in so long. There were different activities to do every single day and a wide range of opportunities to not just learn music, but also an opportunity to learn a strong sense of sisterhood. I felt safe, understood, and accepted. The staff there was so kind and accommodating. You could tell they genuinely wanted to get to know every single person there. I just felt so seen. One of my favorite experiences ever.

This camp changed my life! I met so many friends that I will stay with me for a while. I learned a lot of new skills that I continue to carry with me to this day. I’ve been to this camp for 2 summers in a row and I will keep coming back! It’s such a safe and accepting environment that really encourages people to boldly be themselves. The staff is so lovely and so are all of the campers.

My child will be attending Amplify for the 4th time this summer. It has provided her with amazing collaborative and creative experiences in a life-giving and supportive environment. The kids are truly in it together without the typical drama; they get to be fully themselves, take creative risks, and create music and art together. I couldn’t recommend it more!

My daughter went to Amplify for the first time last summer. SHE LOVED IT. This spring they had a weekend mini-camp. She went and had a wonderful time. I can’t think of one criticism of this camp. My daughter was safe, enjoyed herself, and the staff is kind and responsive. My daughter is hopeful to one day become part of the staff.

I went to this camp last year for the first one week and I absolutely loved it. I can’t wait to go back for the two week session and see all the amazing people there again.

Our kid’s first time at Amplify was wonderful. She came hope with happiness, new friendships, and a new connection to music and creativity that made me so happy. She was on the drums track and I definitely saw the progress in her understanding of the instrument and enthusiasm to keep working on it. The counselors all seemed very caring and attentive and I think the environment really supported each kid connecting to their own power and positivity. We plan to come back next year!
