Teachers
Blue Lake’s faculty members come from
universities, colleges, professional ensembles, and
private and public schools from around the country.
They serve as motivators and role-models for the
campers by teaching artistry, discipline, and
appreciation of formal study. In addition to
instructing small and large group classes, faculty
members regularly demonstrate mastery of their
craft through exhibition and performance in concert,
master class, studio demonstration, and recital
settings.
Auditions
Central camp students audition on the first day
of the session for placement in groups. Theater
students should prepare a memorized one-minute
monologue from standard theatrical repertoire.
Music auditions consist of several major scales,
a chromatic scale the full range of the instrument
(strings excluded), sightreading, and possibly
an excerpt of a prepared piece from home. You will
receive more information following enrollment.
Outstanding Campers
Faculty and staff at Blue Lake consider all of our
campers to be exceptional individuals. But during
each session, every department and ensemble
recognizes one camper who demonstrates
outstanding leadership, citizenship, artistic
accomplishments and progress, and enthusiasm
throughout their camp experience. These campers
receive a scholarship to return to Blue Lake the
following summer.
