Recreation

The emphasis is on family at this camp which blends music and outdoor experiences for the whole family. Blue Lake is unique in that many extra activities are centered around the outdoors. An outdoor swimming pool, lakeside sand for children to play, campfires at night, picnic on the shore of Lake Michigan between sessions, and varied recreation activities, keep families busy between and after classes. Parent volunteers share their special interests with other campers by way of extra classes and special activities. The Art Barn has different art projects throughout the day for students of all ages.
