International Exchange

Blue Lake Public Radio

The International Exchange Program is more than a trip to Europe. It is an opportunity to grow musically, culturally, socially and personally and is an enduring opportunity every young musician should embrace!
Best opportunity, environment, and encouragement my kids have experienced. It’s amazing to watch their confidence, both musically and socially, when in an atmosphere of creativity and support.
Blue Lake has been a fantastic, formative experience for my kids. They improve as musicians and people at each session they attend. Two (so far) have gone to Europe with Blue Lake International and made lasting memories and friendships. The camp is well-run and organized, and the staff are terrific.
I went for 4 years when I was a kid. Now my oldest child just completed her 4th year as a camper! I get chills going back!
Great place! Great music! Great teachers! Great staff! My daughter just finished her fourth year as part of the Advanced Chamber Orchestra and she will be back next year!
Blue Lake Public Radio is infrastructure for the soul.
