Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp is a small non-profit organization that is funded primarily through earned income from camp tuition. Because our organization sustains significant administrative costs associated with managing operations, we wish to provide opportunities for those who are invested in supporting the mission and longevity of the camp. If you are in a position to donate any portion of your refund-eligible tuition to our organization, you can help to support our ability to meet year-round operating costs, maintain our scholarship funds, and ensure the future of our programs. Donations are considered tax-deductible. Please contact the Development Office at development@bluelake.org for more information.
