Rates + Dates

Find the dates and optional add-ons that work for you! AMPLIFY 2024 consists of multiple 2-, 4-, 6- and even 8-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.

“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.”

“I wanted to say thank you. My daughter 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.’”

“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”

“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

YES, tons!

  • Our early bird discount is huge and also applied automatically to anyone who signs up by FEBRUARY 15. This discount is locking in last summer’s lower rates.
  • We give HUGE financial breaks the longer you stay like $1000 OFF for our 4-week sessions.
  • We have a few different referral discounts, including for new friends you bring to camp and siblings! Learn more here.
  • Other SURPRISE discounts and promos are announced throughout the year via both newsletter and social media. When in doubt, absolutely check these platforms, or reach out anytime!

Yes, we offer cancellation insurance for $300 per 2-week session, per camper. Since we have a limited number of beds at Amplify, most parents enroll their children in camp months in advance to ensure a spot. We realize that situations arise (i.e. illness, family emergencies, change of plans, etc.); therefore, Amplify is happy to offer a camp cancellation insurance program that must be purchased at the time of enrollment. Families that purchase insurance can switch both sessions and immersive up until April 1st, guaranteed.  

If cancellation insurance is purchased and cancellation happens before:

  • 2/1/2024: 100% refund
  • 3/1/2024: 75% refund
  • 4/1/2024: 50% refund

 

* There will be no refund after 4/1/2024.

Refunds

 

Refunds are only granted when cancellation insurance has been purchased.

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 do! We have distributed most of our financial aid for the 2024 season. We have a few spots remaining in sessions 1 and 4 at rates of 20-40% discount for qualifying applicants. We also offer work trade. Please fill out the application at the link below if that is of interest to you.

Apply for tuition assistance by clicking the button below. We use HUD recommendations and consider each camper’s unique circumstances in determining tuition assistance.
