The Schedule
🌅 Morning Kickoff
Campers rise and shine with a breakfast bar loaded with choices: golden waffles, fluffy scrambled eggs, crispy hash browns, bacon and veggie sausage, a full bagel station with all the fixings, plus yogurt and fresh fruit for a lighter start.
Every morning kicks off not just with food but with energy-packed assembly fun. Announcements are sprinkled in with surprise mini-activities — think punk rock aerobics to shake off sleep, hilarious team games like human knot, and other quick challenges that get everyone laughing and connected before diving into the day.
🎧 Creative Mode: ON
From 9:30am to 12:00pm, campers dive into immersive instruction and electives, grouped by grade cohorts so everyone learns alongside peers their age. This is the time to follow your passion or try something new — whether that’s Music Business 101, a morning hike and nature drawing, screen printing, button making, or even guacamole making in our life-skills electives.
Meanwhile, our immersives are where the real magic happens. Campers might jam with their band, learn both covers and originals, or take their songwriting deeper in our new Songwriting & Performance immersive. Beginners can pick up an instrument in small group lessons, while others dive into writing their own musical. Visual creators get to photograph bands, design album covers, make skate films, or even launch their own fashion line in our Fashion Design immersive.
It’s hands-on, high-energy, and all about having fun while creating something uniquely your own. By the end of camp, every immersive builds toward an exciting performance, showcase, or project reveal — the ultimate chance for campers to shine.
🍴 Refuel & Recharge
From 12:15–3:00pm, campers fuel up with tasty meals, share laughs with friends, and take a breather before the afternoon kicks in. After lunch, it’s all about choice: cool off with pool games, hang with friends during free time, or enjoy dorm quiet time to rest and reset. For those who want to stay active or creative, there are open jam rooms, art spaces to explore, and even organized sports. Campers can also book a private lesson for one-on-one coaching. It’s the perfect balance of downtime and adventure before diving back into workshops.
🪩 Spirit Week: Themed Fun Every Day!
On top of our daily schedule, the last week of camp is Spirit Week — a chance for campers to dress up, get silly, and celebrate our community with themed days. Each morning kicks off with outfits that match the day’s vibe, and the energy carries into meals, electives, and evening programs
✨ Spirit Week adds an extra layer of magic to camp life — letting creativity shine not just in classes and electives, but in how we show up for each other every day.
🎤 Creative Sessions
By 3:15pm to 5:45pm, it’s back to immersive instruction and camper choice. This is where bands rehearse, artists collaborate, and campers take their projects to the next level. Whether it’s writing an original song, designing a screen print, or prepping for the showcase, the afternoon is all about unlocking creativity and making it real.
🎶 Evening Magic
From 6:45–8:45pm, camp transforms into a festival under the stars. Some nights it’s dance parties with glow sticks and DJs, other nights it’s outdoor movies on the big screen with blankets and popcorn. We’ll also host live bands, talent shows, and surprise themed events that keep the energy high and the memories unforgettable.
Afterward, from 8:45–9:30pm, campers wind down with assembly, night groups, or dorm hangouts — a chance to reflect, laugh, and connect before lights out. By 9:45–11:00pm (depending on age), dorms go quiet and everyone drifts off, ready to do it all again tomorrow.

“My daughter has been attending Amplify since she was in 4th grade and she is now staff at 22. Her three siblings are now following in her footsteps and I honestly don’t think our family would be the same without this special community. Whether you’re into music or photography or fine arts or musical theatre – 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!”
