Camp Amplify is a Christian week-long overnight camp in Winder, Georgia for children ages 8-12 from underserved communities, emphasising what it calls faith, family, food and fun. Campers are not enrolled directly by families: local partner organisations such as Boys & Girls Clubs, foster care groups, homeless shelters and women's shelters identify the children who attend and send staff to camp alongside them, and those partners continue the relationship after the week ends. The program combines mentorship, community support and spiritual growth, and campers pack for a standard overnight week including a sleeping bag, swimsuit and athletic shoes.

★★★★★Amanda CoplanOur daughter attended Amplify last Summer and is now back for all three sessions this year. Amplify has literally changed her life. In fact, she was so intent on coming back this Summer to do the rock band intensive that she spent the entire year doing weekly lessons and practicing to really improve her guitar playing. It's been just incredible to see her blossom and come into her own more both creatively and socially. Love how thoughtful, inclusive and empowering Amplify is and extremely grateful that there's a camp dedicated to girls expressing themselves and supporting one another, especially in beautiful Ojai. Thank you to Jen and the amazing staff!
★★★★★JoannePicking up my daughter from Amplify was a jumble of emotions. The stakes were high for me. I, like any parent, wanted the best experience for her. It had been a tough couple of years and at 12 years old, I could feel her letting go of my hand and reaching out to something else. It was painful for me to see her feeling like she wasn’t good enough, cool enough, etc. We did all the things. Open communication, therapist, no pressure, structure, support, love. My sweet little girl, who had been taking drum lessons since she was 4 years old and who was an amazing drummer, had never played with other people or wanted people to see her play in case she was not perfect. What she loved turned into a source of pain. We encouraged her to take a break and she did. This summer was looking like it was going to be the summer of anxiety due to no interest in any kind of camps. I received an email from Amplify. The website echoed the enthusiasm of the email. Acceptance, encouraging, confidence. I showed it to my daughter and she told me yes, she was interested. The first spark of hope I had felt in months. I had to think about it. She came to me a few days later and asked Amplify again. “I could play drums.”, she offered. We made it happen. Because if you can, you do. At drop off, she barely spoke the whole ride up. We stood silently in that parking lot awkwardly waiting for the pass van. She was so terrified that she looked frozen to me. “Is your name Bella? “, the young van driver asked. Bella lit up as did I. “I recognize you from your photo”, the woman said with a smile. That is how I left her, talking music with a camp counselor. Two weeks later I sat with Bella at the family brunch. She was distant and my heart was heavy. We sat inside a little tent on the grass which was in front of the stage where the kids performed for their peers. We ate silently, until I looked over and saw the tears streaming silently down her face. I hugged her. She missed me and she didn’t want to leave. Two opposing feelings at once. It was overwhelming. Once the tears stopped, the talking slowly started. Two weeks later, it’s still going. The friends that she made, things she realized about herself, how she was comfortable being herself. How she felt playing drums, what it was like to play with other people, how everyone at Amplify made her feel happy and confident. How she wants to go back next year. And she started drums again because she wanted to. Thank you Amplify staff for caring so much.
★★★★★Priscilla VegaThis was my daughter’s first sleepaway camp. She grew 2” in two weeks and came back with endless stories and a heart full of joy and confidence. She’s been counting down the days to next summer :) what an incredible feeling to give the gift of independence while knowing she’s well taken care of!!
★★★★★Peter SedivecOur daughter attended a 2 week program in June 2025. I dropped her off and picked her up from the camp and got a little tour and insight into life at Amplify. She had an amazing time, is signed up to return for 4 weeks next summer and has made some really strong friendships around music which her and the other girls are super passionate about. The camp director, Jen, has been incredibly helpful and what we love is how open to feedback they are and take all suggestions seriously incorporating many into upcoming year. Thank you for putting on such a wonderful program for our daughters to become leaders in the Arts.
★★★★★Molly NeumanOur kid's first time at Amplify was wonderful. She came hope with happiness, new friendships, and a new connection to music and creativity that made me so happy. She was on the drums track and I definitely saw the progress in her understanding of the instrument and enthusiasm to keep working on it. The counselors all seemed very caring and attentive and I think the environment really supported each kid connecting to their own power and positivity. We plan to come back next year!
