Typical Day at Amplify

please note: the following serves only as an example.

7:15 AM: WAKE UP! Greet the day from your cozy dorm room along with one or two of your new best friends. Counselors gently encourage everyone to get ready for breakfast, where flannel pajama pants and t-shirts are perfectly acceptable. When everyone is ready, step outside into fresh mountain air and beautiful blue California skies. Make your way to the dining hall.

8:00 AM: BREAKFAST. Campers arrive at the outside dining hall and sit at tables with their pods. Counselors are also dispersed throughout the tables and get campers amped for the day’s activities. Gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan, etc. options always available. Breakfast is also where daily temperature checks occur.

8:30 AM: MORNING ASSEMBLY. Here you’ll find out all the details about your day, be entertained by our famous Skit Time Players, and play a few games to get our day started.

9:00 AM: TRACKS & MORNING ELECTIVES. Become a rock star, journalist, podcaster, DJ, producer, filmmaker, photographer, reigning queen, and more. Each track’s staffers take their group of excited campers to their track areas, where they spend the morning learning, exploring, growing, and having a blast. Every track has its own engaging curriculum and expert instructors who truly know the ins and outs of their discipline because it’s their real-world job.

FYI, all tracks are split up by GRADE. While Lights are in their music instructions, for example, Legends will be in electives/workshops. And then they switch! Our daily electives are a huge camper favorite. Choose from a daily list of super fun activities, like hiking, rock climbing, DJ, screen printing, music video making, trapeze, and more.

12:00 PM: LUNCH. Campers reconnect with their friends and counselors at lunch. If anyone has a birthday, expect a custom-made cake and the whole camp singing Happy Birthday to you—a highlight of every session! Gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan, etc. options always available.

12:45 PM: FREE TIME, CAMP STORE, PRIVATE LESSONS & OPEN SWIM. This is downtime for campers, when we encourage writing letters home, taking a breath, or taking a plunge in the pool! This is also a time when our camp store is open. Campers can purchase camp sweatshirts, sweatpants, stamps, water bottles, stickers, healthy snacks, and more.

2:20 PM: TRACKS & AFTERNOON ELECTIVES. Just like our 9:30 AM block, but in the afternoon! Here our Lights pick one elective block but the older you get at camp the more electives you get to explore, so our Legends get two electives in this block. LITs spend this time embarking on special LIT off-campus trips, engaging workshops/electives geared at taking their leadership to the next level, etc.

5:00 PM: FREE TIME. PRIVATE LESSONS

6:15 PM: DINNER. Counselors get you dancing and singing at dinner, and you’ll learn all of the Amplify traditions. Then, still buzzing from an incredible day, the whole camp community gets together after dinner for that night’s evening activity block. Gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan, etc. options always available.

7:00 PM: EVENING ACTIVITY/SPECIAL EVENT BLOCK. The sun may be setting, but the fun continues! Tonight you could be going to karaoke, watching a movie with your friends, attending a dance, going night swimming, or experiencing another of the many fun events and surprises we have planned. This is where we bring in off-the-charts special performers, like Zella Day and Carmen from BONES UK’s mind-blowing 2021 evening performances 😍.

9:00 PM: GET READY FOR BED.

9:30 PM: LIGHTS OUT (for the Lights).
