Citizenship

Students should arrive at Blue Lake eager to learn, make new friends, and have a great time. The staff strives to create a sense of community among students through the cabin environment, unit activities, and daily camp life. Campers are expected to focus on their art by working hard during their classes, and to be kind, considerate, and respectful toward others. Campers are required to follow all camp rules, which are designed to reflect basic expectations of good citizenship that positively contribute to an inclusive community environment. 

Camper Pledge

Campers are expected to accept and conform to all regulations of Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp and must sign the Camper Pledge upon their arrival at camp. Parents are expected to review the Camper Pledge with campers ahead of time and ensure their understanding of Blue Lake’s policies.

‘As a camper of Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp, I agree to abide by camp regulations and to cooperate with camp authorities in furthering its ideals. I agree not to use or possess tobacco, vaping products, alcoholic beverages or unauthorized drugs, not to deface camp property, not to participate in bullying, hazing, threats, or violence, not to endanger the safety of myself or others, nor to go out of bounds without permission. I understand that if I violate any camp regulations, I jeopardize my good standing with Blue Lake, my parents will be notified, and I may be expelled immediately from camp.’
