However, if necessary, students may not arrive earlier than 9:00am on Tuesday before their scheduled session (for sessions 2, 3, or 4); and not earlier than 6:00pm on Tuesday before Session 1. Uniforms will not be available until Opening Wednesday.
If you are unable to pick your camper up before 4:00pm on Final Sunday, you may arrange to pick them up later that evening or the next day. All late departure campers must be picked up by 5:00pm on Monday.
All campers arriving early or departing late must pay a daily fee, or any portion thereof, for all meals, supervision, and activities. This fee will be added to the registration.
Campers who enroll in two consecutive sessions have the option of leaving with a parent/guardian or staying on camp in between the sessions. Campers opting to stay on camp are subject to a fee for meals, supervision, activities, and accommodations.

Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp is a small non-profit organization which is funded primarily through earned income from camp tuition. Because our organization sustains significant administrative costs associated with managing operations, we wish to provide opportunities for those who are invested in supporting the mission and longevity of the camp. If you are in a position to donate any portion of your refund-eligible tuition to our organization, you can help to support our ability to meet year-round operating costs, maintain our scholarship funds, and ensure the future of our programs. Donations are considered tax-deductible. Please contact the Development Office atdevelopment@bluelake.orgfor more information.
