AMP started as a non-profit organization when a PLU Business student named Nic won a contest to begin funding it. AMP began as a summer music camp for elementary students in 2013, and grew to provide several different music opportunities-- from Christmas caroling, to experiencing instruments from different cultures, to just learning music after school!

AMP is coming back after a hiatus due to the pandemic with new PLU students who are dedicated to helping the young musicians in our community! AMP is now officially affiliated with PLU, by the help of the Parkland Literacy Center, which leads to many new opportunities for our campers. AMP's new directors brought the camp back for the first time since the pandemic in summer 2022. With the successful return of the camp, new funding and community support has ensured the future of AMP!

AMP's current directors are working so that future PLU students can continue AMP Programming in the future! We hope that the summer camp can become annual and grow to serve more age groups. This will depend on community involvement, funding, and overall program success-- but we will work tirelessly to ensure that local children can have free music and arts opportunities!
