Dear Arts Educator: Thank you once again for inviting Blue Lake to your school this year in order to host Scholarship Auditions for your students. We're pleased to have provided this service for you, and hope to see many of your students at camp this summer. Do you have some students that simply can't afford camp? With Michigan's challenging economy this season, we realize that some families may be unable to afford camp tuition even with the generous Merit Awards that are the result of the auditions you have hosted. We have therefore recently dedicated a new scholarship fund specifically for these families. We ask for your help in identifying these students and passing along the word about the new Families that qualify through application can earn up to $825* toward their camp tuition! *Financial Scholarship amounts fluctuate and are based upon need as represented through application process. Families interested in pursuing this option are required to complete the "Financial Need Scholarship Form" (attached) and submit it to the Blue Lake Scholarship Office. These special scholarships are available only for Session I (grades 8 - 12 next school year), only for new enrollees, and are available on a first come-first served basis. Please help share the news! If you have questions, please email Sandy Sheroky at or call 1-800-221-3796. Thank You! Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp, a summer school of the arts located on a 1,300 acre campus in Michigan's Manistee National Forest, offers fine arts education for all ages. The summer camp annually serves more than 5,000 gifted elementary, junior high and high school students with diverse programs in music, art, dance, and drama while offering more than 175 performances during its Summer Arts Festival. Blue Lake also operates a widely acclaimed International Exchange Program and two public radio stations. Since its inception in 1966, Blue Lake has provided cultural enrichment to over 300,000 gifted students and countless concert-goers.

The art of music is so deep and profound that to approach it very seriously only is not enough. One must approach music with a serious rigor and, at the same time, with a great affectionate joy.
Instruments needed include: flutes, clarinets, saxophones, trumpet/coronets, French Horns, trombones, baritones, and percussion kits. If you have a used instrument that you would like to donate, please contact the
