This is such a wonderful place in the woods. The beautiful winding road (Unpaved because It is in…read morethe back country ) really makes you feel like you're going to this magical place. It is also the road to a campground for a nearby fishing lake (not blue lake). Many years ago I was lucky enough to work there for my inclusive boss, who is also now the current management. This employment was key in my development and maturity, I have since become a teacher at a school that promotes many of the same values I learned and loved at Blue Lake. I am certain Blue Lake is working to develop leaders at the same time ensuring safety for its campers. If you are looking for a community that loves the outdoors and enjoys having fun this is the place to work. It is also the place to send your child for camp. Once my children are old enough they will be attending blue lake.

I have been apart of the BLC family since 1989. Starting out as a camper learning team work,…read moreindependence being away from home, responsibilities of myself and the greater community, along with learning to be an eco hero through learning survival skills, and forestry education. I was honored to see camp grow, evolve and bring in new programs from junior outdoor youth leadership (JOYLS), to outdoor Youth leadership (OYLS). At camp I made lifelong friends that each year we would promise to meet back at camp (back when there was no internet to stay connected) the same people that are still in my life today. I remember being a camper and not wanting to leave camp, so I asked management, Yoda, if I could stay and help, which he happily said yes!! It was there that I truly felt like a bigger part of the BLC family. I went on to work as a counselor, gaining more skills of teaching, role modeling and enhancing ecofun programs. On days off I was welcomed to stay at the management's (Yoda) personal home as I lived too far away. Other Counselors became close friends, a family away from home. The Spirit of camp shined through the dedication, pride and resourcefulness to bring any child the experience of camp. It has been an honnor to continue to watch camp grow, evolve and bring the magic of camp Alive in children's eyes. I highly recommend blue Lake as a camp to send your child or a place to work.
