Warning theres always RAIN and also RUN before anyone gets up to go the bath house and get in there quick theres not enough stalls 3*some of the water in unit is amazing westpoint has good water spout water so bring a waterbottle thats reusable 4*the matresses are the thinest you will ever see but they are somhow confortable dont panic if they look thin they arent that bad

I’m going in 8 days and this helped a lot

some tips from a veteran returning in a few weeks!! - please please please do not eat in your bed. this is a big one for me- a girl last year ended up suffocating a mouse in her bedsheets after eating cool ranch doritos - try to eat as much as you can at mealtimes! if food they have looks suspicious/unappealing to you, you can always say no - a lot of the water in the plumbing is full of sulfur. this means the water in places like marek hall smells like rotten eggs. if you can bring a flat of water and choose different drinks at mealtime (although all are made with artificially made powder + sulfur water, drinks that taste stronger such as red drink, lemonade and orange juice can help mask the scent and taste) - you will be walking everywhere- bring substantial shoes - dress code says you need plain white socks, but this is me telling you nobody is going to tell you to go change over the logo on your socks - if you get the navy knee socks from the camp store, tie your shoes super tight when you wear them to events as they are so slick they will slip off if you're not careful - have your parent or guradian send you with about $100-$115. i recommend buying a stuffy from the store (because sometimes you need a little buddy complete with blue lake tshirt) and any of the navy blue hoodies (these ones count as an "informal sweater"- you can wear them outside your unit but not to formal events) - finally, have fun! so much else i would like to include but its a lot to process. experiencing it all is much better, trust me! good luck to my fellow and future campers!

The only thing that annoys me is the phone thing a little bit because I am going there to draw and they expect the artists to just sit there in silence 😭 I work so much faster and better with music. Also I saw photos of the chairs they have artists use to sit on while they draw and I’m going to get scoliosis after this week😃

Blue lake suck

I’m thinking of going this summer (I’m going into 7th) but it’s really expensive and if I bring my phone how will they find it? What will they do? How will they know?

yo idk if you will see this comment, but you mentioned you forgot to bring the charger for your camera, are there power outlets in the cabins? I am going to buy a MP3 to bring with me, but i couldnt find any that uses replaceable batteries, so i would need some way to plug it in. Blue Lake seems super fun, im excited to go this year!

I went to Blue Lake in the 80s and in the 2000s my student went. In the 2010s that student was a staff leader and eventually a composer and instructor...now a conductor. I am now raising a new generation about to go THIS summer Blue Lake is amazing. You told ZERO lies

I‘m going this year for the first time. Already got some issues with registration but we‘ll handle that. This vid helped a lot thanks! I‘m from Germany so I had no idea what it‘s like. Now I got some sort of idea what it will be like haha

i think i’m going this summer FOR THE FIRST TIME. i’ll be majoring in band in percussion and minoring in radio broadcasting

omg would u recomend? i wanna go

Soviet Spoonion was still in place session 1 2023 😭

going to blue lake session 4 in 3 days, got a cheap camera i’m so excited 💗

Just got out of blue lake yesterday for my final year. Session 1 2023. So much fun, although I was in Script cause I'm a dude. But it feels weird that I'm not going to be a camper anymore

im going as a bari sax player my minors the jazz band and idk what im getting into

I'm going to blue lake on june 21st (1st session) I'm so excited eeee

Is it a good idea to go to 2 sessions?

I lived at blue lake for 11 years my dad worked there for 35 years and we had a house on camp

11:33 instructions unclear: i now have half a kazoo

I have a question because i will be going next year. If I am a girl and I go with a friend that is a boy then will we have time to ever hang out together because the cabins are separated by gender?

I just got out of blue lake yesterday! Session 4, 2022. I was also in promenade! I loved BLFAC sm, it was such a great experience.

I just got back from Blue Lakes Fine Arts camp and it was amazing also my cabin was buxahuda my counselor was Annie and she was the best

I just got back from blue Lake fine arts camp

Im going to my first time at blue lake this year. This was really helpful. Thank you!!

Last time I went was 1996 and you hit it on the head. But always my favorite place.😊

Wait can you bring a bike?

After 2 years of waiting, I'm finally going back to Blue Lake for my 4th and final summer there. It feels weird to me that I'm going to be a senior this upcoming year. And it sucks that it'll be my last summer as a camper there, as I love the camp.

If you go with a friend, will you probably get put in the same cabin? We are both going to band camp.

OMG HOW DID U RECORED THIS!?!

The Soviet Spoonion still reigned in 2021.

Woooo going in two days

I just got out of blue lake yesterday!! I went to session 2 of 2021! I can't believe the Soviet spoonion has been around for that long lol, I went for my second year this year, but my first year was in 2018. I miss it so much and I hope to go again next year!

I loved how this turned into if you like fortnite or not🤣

blue lake was clearly made for extroverts 😭😭 I'm going for 26 days bc I'm going for two sessions starting tomorrow and I'm literally dreading it bc I hate meeting people and being outdoors. like this would sound like so much fun if I wasn't the most anxious introvert alive 🏃🏃

i’m in dolce 😭

i’m going to session one next week you have no idea how helpful this is haha

Ladies behave have class and always value ur self’s

As I’m looking back I was at camp with u!😂 I have a pic of my counselor and u were in the background on main camp

I miss blue lake sm🥺‼️

This year is my first year to actually go, but for previous years when my sister went I would leave without dole whip

Aye its corbin! He was in my unit that year and also was in my cabin back in like 2017

Nobody: Me: OKAY SUMMER CAMP IS IN LIKE 3 MONTHS. TIME TO REWATCH EVERYTHING EVEN THOUGH I REMEMBER. I feel good living like 2 hours from blue lake so everyone who has to fly from places don't understand the privilege just taking an hour and and a half drive home after in absolutely trashed from 2 weeks of camp.

As a dancer who was supposed to go to washing Leo’s might be a problem it’s technically uniform idk 🤷🏻‍♀️

Thanks for the guide! I got a scholarship. So disappointed that it was canceled this year.

Such a shame we couldn't go this year cause of covid, but cant wait for next year.

This place is the best!

god please tell me you didn’t thirst over my Belgian host brother!! (He was the one who came out and laid on the stage at the beginning of the shirtless part of the flag spinning thing lmao)

me watching this and making myself sad because blue lake is cancelled this year:

i was in the back 40 in 2018 and thank god i rehearsed in toscanini so it wasn’t a super long walk

I just started getting sad that Blue Lake was supposed to be in about 20 days and it got cancelled. I'm sad
