AMPLIFY RATES + DATES
multiple session lengths ★ jun 18–aug 12 ★ save when you stay longer ★ scholarships + monthly payment installments available
Find the dates and optional add-ons that work for you! AMPLIFY 2023 consists of multiple 1-, 2-, and 4-week sessions of both SLEEP AWAY and DAY camp, some of which even cater to special age groups (learn more below and HERE).
You can always add on another session at any point, space permitting. Some campers sign up for a different track for each session they’re enrolled in, and some stay with the same track for the whole season. There’s no wrong way to AMPLIFY YOUR VOICE.
HOW LONG SHOULD WE COME TO CAMP?
Before the dust settles from cars pulling away after dropoff, campers have already made new friends and become part of the Amplify family. But, learning how to rock out on the drums, produce sick beats, photograph, skateboard, write amazing songs, etc. is not so instantaneous. To provide sufficient time for these new interests to blossom and new skills to develop, we recommend 4 weeks for most campers, especially first-timers.
So, why do we offer shorter sessions at all and not just 4-week sessions? Just because campers are ready to dive into Amplify for 4 weeks doesn’t mean parents are! Opting into only 1 or 2 weeks gives families a camp test-run, preparing them for even more adventure and fun the next summer.
If you’re unsure what duration is the best fit for you, please reach out anytime. After 10 years and 11,000 kiddos, we know a thing or 2 about this stuff 😉
WHY DO YOU COME FOR 4 WEEKS?
“amazing campus for longer! plus after the first week or so you have a great routine down”
“making even MORE friends and staying at CATALINA ISLAND!”
“meeting more new people, getting longer connections with friends, overnight weekend trips!”
“trying more new things and realizing how GOOD I AM at them”
“it feels great to be able to fully understand what you’re doing when you stay another session”
sessions, tuition + add-ons
Tuition includes EVERYTHING campers need: food, housing, onsite programming + camp events, most offsite adventures, camp t-shirt… That said, we also have very cool optional add-ons, like private 1:1 lessons, swag at our onsite camp store, and more.
FYI…
A small deposit is due upon registering. You’re also welcome to pay in full at that time if preferred.
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.
If Monday–Friday DAY CAMP is more your speed instead of sleep away camp, we’ve got you covered! Learn more HERE. Speaking of day camp…
For campers attending 2-week sessions, camp takes place Monday–Friday with the final showcase Friday @ 7pm on campus; for campers attending 1-week sessions, camp takes place Monday–Friday with the final showcase Friday @ 2pm on campus.
For 2-week sessions, campers have the option to campout onsite with us on the last Friday night FOR FREE, then enjoy breakfast and goodbyes Saturday morning (again, FOR FREE!) before being picked up at 11am!
We provide breakfast and/or dinner when you opt into early dropoff and/or late pickup.

registration insurance
We have a limited number of beds at Amplify, so most families sign campers up far in advance to save their spot. We realize situations arise (e.g., illness), so we strongly recommend you consider grabbing camp registration/cancellation insurance. While this is fully optional, please note that many plans out there do require you to sign up shortly after enrolling in camp.
TUITION ASSISTANCE
Please 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 Sep 1–Mar 15 every year. Assistance is not guaranteed.
