Bring at least one non-uniform outfit.
Bring LOTS of snacks.
Make sure you have long pants AND shorts. Mornings are like -40 and by lunchtime it's 80.
At least in the units I've been in, there are no locks on bathroom stalls, so make sure you knock or check for feet first.
Bring a fan for your cabin. You're counselor might already have one, but it's nice having two anyway.
Bring a sheet and a warm blanket, evenings are hot and by morning it's freezing.
Bring good walking shoes, you WILL be walking a lot.
As in class schedules? Depends on your major, but basically, like this:6am - get up
7:15 - breakfast
8-12 - classes
12:15 - lunch
1-2 - minor period
2:20-3:50 - PM rehearsal (or more classes, again, depending on the major)
3:50-5 - rec time
5:15 - dinner
then usually a concert to watch and/or cabin or unit activities, and a camper dance once every session, plus a carnival once every middle school session.
bedtime around 9 or 10pm ish.
Morning classes vary, but for orchestra (and probably band and choir) in the morning you have sectionals, tech class, a 45 minute break (for practicing), and AM rehearsal, with PM rehearsal in the afternoon. For dance, you have conditioning, Ballet technique, pointe/partnering, repertory, and contemporary in the afternoon. I don't know much about the other majors, but it's probably something like that.

They say to get two, but get at least three.
Blue Lake is a great camp! There are a lot of scholarship opportunities that are listed on the Blue Lake website. The maximum scholarship you can receive is $500 per session.
Yes it's an amazing summer camp! They really improve your skills and help you with things you don't know.
No. All you have for storage is the space under your bunk, that is shared with your bunkmate, and possibly a shelf or two.
Blue Lake is open to anyone who is willing to pay the money to go. As long as you send in your application soon enough, you'll get a place.
Yes, but not a lot. And why should you? You are outside almost the entire day and most of the kids there that wear makeup are the bratty kids with no talent.
To get in the camp all you do is send your application early enough, there is no audition to "get in" to camp. On opening day you have a placement audition, to determine which group you'll be in. For music majors it's a scale, or possibly a couple, and sightreading, for dance, a dance class, things like that.
