More exciting news from camp!

Summer 2015 is right around the corner, so we wanted to take a moment to share some exciting news from camp with you.

Custom Climbing Tower and Top Lake Zip Line…Did you know that, just as you are reading this, the final finishing touches are being made to Blue Star’s brand new custom climbing tower? Our friends from Challenge Towers (www.challenge towers.com) have been wonderful to work with, have done a fabulous job, and are about to start work on our new tree-house zip line at the top lake. That’s right…new custom rock climbing tower AND a new awesome top lake zip line!

That is not the only new fun to be had at Blue Star this summer though. We are introducing TWO new Blue Star options in 2015….Dance and Cooking! We are formally offering dance this summer (with a full time dance specialist) and also starting a cooking option (yum!). We are going to be redesigning a special space for our cooking option and look forward to sampling all of the delicious dishes prepared by our campers in the cooking option.

Sprucing up….All of this planning to make options and camp activities awesome this summer has also been happening in tandem with enhancements to our already wonderful site and facilities. Since last summer we have been focusing on exterior cabin renovations in Teen Village. We painted the Village blue and built lovely new wooden decks. It looks amazing! We also have done extensive interior and exterior work on both Junior and Pioneer Girl hills…there are beautiful new decks on these bunks and enhancements to the overall cosmetic aesthetic in each of these newly renovated cabins.

You can expect to see some additional “sprucing up” all around camp. In 2015 our “forever home” will look and feel more beautiful than ever! We can’t wait to see you all on opening day and look forward to sharing the next “best summer ever” with our Blue Star family!

DEVELOPING FRIENDSHIPS AND EMBRACING ADVENTURE…Introducing Outdoor Adventure Skills Camp!

OA_Skills_Camp
Last summer we brought “skill session” (a program reimagined from back in the 70’s and 80’s at Blue Star) back with a bang with a week-long Horseback Skills Camp. Our “skills camps” offer campers the opportunity to participate in concentrated skill development programs in key activity areas at Blue Star. It is with great excitement that we announce the introduction of an Outdoor Adventure Skills Camp to our program offerings this summer! We are thrilled to be adding a skills camp option for those outdoor adventure enthusiasts in our camp community! 

Our innovative week-long outdoor adventure focused program will be structured around the core activities of Rock Climbing, Mountain Biking and Kayaking. Learning the technical skills required to perform well in these activities will form the main curriculum for the program. Offering opportunities to work as a team, develop outdoor skills, and make new friends all while finding a love of and appreciation for the natural world is at the heart of what Outdoor Adventure Skills Camp is all about!
