“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.” — Parent of a 6th grader, Brooklyn, NY • First-Time 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.’” — Parent of a 6th grader, Ojai, CA • 4-Week 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!” Kellie, Parent of Esme, 22, Zadie, 21, Winnie, 15, and Olive, 11

“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” Sophie, 22 years old (past camper, now staff)

“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.” —Ary, 14 years old

“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 :)” —Gracie, 12 years old

“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.” —Devon, 17 years old

“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.” — Parent of a 3rd grader, Santa Monica • First-Time Camper

Amplify is a sleepaway camp in California intentionally designed to feel different. We blend the warmth and connection of a traditional camp with immersive music, arts, and creative programming that helps kids build confidence and express who they are.
Our community is supportive, inclusive, and rooted in belonging, where campers feel safe to take risks, try new things, and show up as themselves. For many, it’s the first place they truly feel like they fit in. It’s not about being the best. It’s about discovering your voice, building real friendships, and leaving stronger than you came.

  • Real Creative Skills — in music, art, and self-expression
  • Lifelong Friendships — meaningful connections that last far beyond summer

  • While its not a discount, per se, we do also offer flexible payment plans and low cost deposits to ensure your spot in camp.

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 15th, guaranteed.  

If cancellation insurance is purchased and cancellation happens before:

  • 2/1/2027: 100% refund
  • 3/1/2027: 75% refund
  • 4/1/2027: 50% refund

 

* There will be no refund after 4/1/2027.

Refunds

 

Refunds are only granted when cancellation insurance has been purchased.
