Teen Leadership at Amplify

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 (like camping on Santa Cruz Island! Where they venture out on a life changing rites of passage journey building skills in teamwork, creative thinking and thoughtful reflection). They also complete a totally impressive capstone project and earn 20 hours of community service each week!

What are Immersive Programs at Amplify Sleep Away Camp?

Immersives 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, 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 all-day 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, pool party, and much more for hours of camper-directed fun.

All high schoolers AND any campers who sign up for 4-week sessions also get treated to overnight camping trips at the local beach, Catalina Island, Santa Cruz Island, and/or the Kern River, where they’ll get to go zip lining, jumping through the trees on an aerial adventure, kayaking, whitewater rafting, and more!

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 ? Also, local day campers can grab a spot on the free roundtrip Day Camp Shuttle—stops in Montecito and Ventura.

Health & Safety Measures

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.
