multiple session lengths ★ jun 16–aug 10 ★ save when you stay longer

Find the dates and optional add-ons that work for you! AMPLIFY 2024 consists of multiple 2-, 4-, even 6-week sessions of both SLEEP AWAY and DAY camp, some of which even cater to special age groups (learn more below and HERE).

You can always add on another session at any point, space permitting. Some campers sign up for a different immersive track for each session they’re enrolled in, and some stay with the same track for the whole season. There’s no wrong way to AMPLIFY YOUR VOICE.

HOW LONG SHOULD
WE COME TO CAMP?

Before the dust settles from cars pulling away after dropoff, campers have already made new friends and become part of the Amplify family. But, learning how to rock out on the drums, produce sick beats, photograph, skateboard, write amazing songs, etc. is not so instantaneous. To provide sufficient time for these new interests to blossom and new skills to develop, we recommend 4 weeks for most campers, especially first-timers.

So, why do we offer shorter sessions at all and not just 4-week sessions? Just because campers are ready to dive into Amplify for 4 weeks doesn’t mean parents are! Opting into only 2 weeks gives families a camp test-run, preparing them for even more adventure and fun the next summer.

If you’re unsure what duration is the best fit for you, please reach out anytime. After 10 years and 11,000 kiddos, we know a thing or 2 about this stuff 😉

“I wanted to say thank you. Sydney loved camp. She had gone to a well-known big sleepaway camp 2 summers in a row, and we both came away feeling like something was missing. She didn’t feel connected or herself there. She told me that at Amplify she felt accepted for who she is and fully appreciated and not self conscious at all. Can’t imagine anything more we could want for her.” —Mom of 9-year-old camper

“I can tell by Lemi’s response to camp that the investment is exemplary. The first thing she said to me about Amplify was: ‘Thank you so much for sending me there. I have never been so loved by so many people at one time who were not my family.’” —Guardian of 11-year-old camper

“This camp changed my life last year. So many people and staff made me feel welcome during my 2-week stay that this summer I’m coming for 4 weeks to live my dreams here at this camp. No matter what you do, everyone supports you…I’ve never experienced this. I wish everyone could come to this camp for classes and fun, right? But really this camp gives me much, much more…” —11-year-old camper

“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 Idyllwild Arts Summer Program, 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. 1,000% worth it.”

“Amplify has been a large influence in my life, from the first moment I started going to the camp to almost 6 years later as I continue to go and learn… Every year I leave camp with more knowledge on how to deal with my problems… Without Amplify, I’m not sure where I’d be today, but it definitely wouldn’t be where I am now. I owe a lot to this camp, and I will continue to grow and learn from them for years to come.” —14-year-old camper

“This isn’t just an average rock camp, it isn’t just about the music, it isn’t just about anything, but to me… it’s everything. I don’t think I would be half the person I am today if it weren’t for Amplify. What really is the best is what Amplify is all about. Band practices, karaoke, friendship bracelet making, swimming and hiking in the mountains of Ojai, eating lunch with your brand new best friends, trying to hold your laughter in with your roommate past quiet hours, early rises to watch the sunrise, workshops, lifelong friends and memories… I have gained so much skill, confidence, love, and passion from Amplify. I am me thanks to Amplify… and I wouldn’t want to be anyone else!! Come to camp! It will only be the best decision you’ve ever made in your life, no big deal :)” —12-year-old camper

“Amplify is an extremely important place to me. It makes me feel like a real person. I know I want to end up as staff and stay with the organization for as long as I can.” —17-year-old camper

“What an incredible two weeks for my daughter! She came home more confident than I have ever seen her. The staff is awesome, they totally rock. We’re so in.”

Frequently Asked Questions

WITHOUT INSURANCE: payers who cancel by February 1 will be issued a 75% refund, and payers who cancel by March 30 will be issued a 50% refund. Refunds will not be issued after April 1 for any reason. When space is available, campers can switch to another session or immersive should summer plans change.

We highly recommend purchasing trip insurance at the time of enrollment. We recommend using the comparison tool at https://www.squaremouth.com/ to find the right refund policy for you.

If you’d like to pay in monthly installments, we’ll automatically debit your account on the 15th of each month leading up to 2 weeks before your session. Any remaining balance will automatically be charged to your account 2 weeks before your session. Anyone registering within 2 weeks of their session required to pay in full upon registering.

PLEASE NOTE: If you choose to pay via ACH or eCheck, you must be paid in full 100 days before camp begins.

We have a limited number of beds at Amplify, so most families sign campers up far in advance to save their spot. We realize situations arise (e.g., illness), so we strongly recommend you consider grabbing camp registration/cancellation insurance. While this is fully optional, please note that many plans out there do require you to sign up shortly after enrolling in camp.
