Teen Leadership at Amplify
Amplify has one of the best teen leadership programs in the country! All 11th and 12th graders participate in Amplify’s leader-in-training (LIT) program, where teens get all the fun of camp, plus incredible leadership opportunities that help build their confidence and independence. LITs go on additional off-campus trips where they build skills in teamwork, creative thinking and thoughtful reflection. They also complete a totally impressive capstone project.
What are Immersive Programs at Amplify Sleep Away Camp?
Immersive’s are campers’ concentration for the session—even the whole summer if they want. Campers are highly encouraged to come for a 4-week session or longer so they can experience as much expert-level instruction, bonding, creative and empowering activities, and off-campus adventures as possible. Choose a different immersive each session or stick with one for the whole season to become an unstoppable expert—there’s no wrong way to AMPLIFY youth voices!
Amplify Ain’t School
While there are immersive-specific “lessons,” Amplify is so not school. Imagine learning to play an instrument, writing an original song, jamming on stage, directing a real music video, or producing your own sick beats! Doesn’t sound like school to us.
Campers spend a few hours most days in their immersive-specific lessons, with another several hours in awesome small group or camp-wide activities like screen printing, karaoke, pick up capture the flag games, zine making, daily open swim time, hiking, music HERstory, stargazing, and dozens more.
Super Fun Summer Camp for Girls
There’s even nighttime dance parties and pool parties every session, planned by campers themselves! Campers largely move throughout camp with their own age groups, such as dorm assignments, immersive instruction, etc. At least one day most weeks is spent on trips like beach day in Carpinteria or exploring Downtown Ojai, and there’s also Amplify’s beloved FIELD DAY where campers get totally free choice all day long: choose from jam sessions, Podcasting, music video making, skateboarding, roller skating, ice cream floats, movie marathon, board games, and much more for hours of camper-directed fun.
Getting to Amplify
We’ve got you covered ! Besides the classic personal car, there’s lots of ways to get to camp! Sleep away campers flying in can catch a ride on Amplify’s LAX Shuttle, and LA families will be thrilled to know there’s also the Private Amplify Express Bus that stops at Beverly Hills High School. No busy parent should have to drive all the way to and from Ojai if they don’t want to ?

Amplify follows all safety protocols issued by both local health officials and the CDC re: communicable disease like COVID. Over the last 2 years, their COVID-related safety protocols put them in the top 10% of all camps nationwide for health and wellness.
