multiple session lengths ★ jun 18–aug 12 ★ save when you stay longer

Find the dates and optional add-ons that work for you! AMPLIFY 2023 consists of multiple 1-, 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 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 1 or 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 😉

WHY DO YOU COME FOR 4 WEEKS?

“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”

“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 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.

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.

If Monday–Friday DAY CAMP is more your speed instead of sleep away camp, we’ve got you covered! Learn more HERE. Speaking of day camp…

For campers attending 2-week sessions, camp takes place Monday–Friday with the final showcase Friday @ 7pm on campus; for campers attending 1-week sessions, camp takes place Monday–Friday with the final showcase Friday @ 2pm on campus.
For 2-week sessions, campers have the option to campout onsite with us on the last Friday night FOR FREE, then enjoy breakfast and goodbyes Saturday morning (again, FOR FREE!) before being picked up at 11am!
We provide breakfast and/or dinner when you opt into early dropoff and/or late pickup.
