Comments:	Contributed by: Parent on 7/21/2008 Excellent music and arts camp. Easiest and smoothest check-in/check-out of any camp we've ever been to. Contributed by: Student on 6/26/2008 This is a great camp! You make friends, improve your artistic abilities, have tons of fun, and learn independence. It's a really good feeling when you get to choose when you want to take your shower or how you're going to use your free time. Uniforms aren't that fun, but it's okay since everyone else has to wear them too. Contributed by: Student on 8/14/2007 This was my second time coming to Blue lake. I made so many friends and had a great time. I got into the international orchestra but I might need funding. It costs more than $5,000! Contributed by: Other on 11/12/2005 I worked at Blue Lake in the summer of 2005. It was a great experience for me, and I loved the many opportunities it gave the campers to excel in their art. I plan on going back next summer and would highly recommend the camp to anyone! Contributed by: Student on 10/15/2005 Best experience of my life. It is a very serious camp. You learn a lot. Contributed by: Student on 5/2/2005 Blue Lake Fine Arts camp is the best camp I have ever been too. This year will be my third year attending. Contributed by: Student on 7/26/2004 My friends and I enjoyed this camp more than any experience and suggest that everyone who is interested in the arts attend. It didn't matter that we were only there to dance, we were still exposed to all forms of the arts and received a well rounded experience. Contributed by: Parent of Davidson Young Scholar on 1/8/2004 This camp connects kids with highly motivated peers and helps support their special interests. Show All CommentsShow Less Comments
