“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 intentionally designed to feel different. We blend the warmth, friendship, and emotional safety of a traditional girls’ camp with immersive, high-quality creative programming led by working artists and educators. Campers are supported socially and creatively, whether they’re brand new or already serious about their craft, and no one is ever pressured to compete. Families choose Amplify because their kids don’t just grow skills here, they grow confidence, belonging, and lifelong friendships.

Frequently Asked Questions

Availability changes by age group and session. We recommend starting with a deposit to secure your camper’s spot while you finalize plans.

YES, tons!

  • We offer a $250 early bird discount which is applied automatically to anyone who signs up by October 31st. This discount brings the price of tuition to $4850 per 2-week session.

  • We love when our campers help grow the Amplify community.

    Returning Camper Ambassador Program
    If a returning Amplify family refers a new camper who enrolls, the referring family will receive a $500 referral credit, and the new family will receive $250 off their first summer at Amplify.

    Bring-a-Friend Discount (New Families)
    New campers who sign up together with a friend who is also new to Amplify will each receive $250 off tuition.

    There’s nothing better than starting camp with a friend. Learn more here.

  • 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 1st, guaranteed.  

If cancellation insurance is purchased and cancellation happens before:

  • 2/1/2026: 100% refund
  • 3/1/2026: 75% refund
  • 4/1/2026: 50% refund

 

* There will be no refund after 4/1/2026.

Refunds

 

Refunds are only granted when cancellation insurance has been purchased.

Payment Authorization Policy
When enrolling your child in Amplify Arts Project programming, you agree to our financial terms and authorize Amplify to securely store and use your payment information to process tuition and related charges. If a payment method is declined or no longer valid, we reserve the right to charge any other card previously used or stored in your account to fulfill outstanding balances. This helps ensure that your camper’s spot remains reserved and that payment schedules are honored.
By completing registration, you acknowledge and accept these terms as outlined in our Financial Agreement and Terms & Conditions.

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 do ! We also sometimes can offer work trade. Please fill out the application at the link below if that is of interest to you. We also have a special scholarship fund for our returning campers.

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

Tuition assistance applications are open all year. Assistance is not guaranteed

Apply for Tuition Assistance

Often, yes. Many families enroll for 2 weeks to secure a spot, then extend if space allows. If you think you might want 4 or 6 weeks, email or text us early so we can help you map the best path and increase the chances we can extend your stay.
