Blue Lake Camp’s annual Christmas Tree Fundraiser is currently underway with orders being taken up to Nov. 30.

This beloved tradition offers families a chance to bring home a beautiful tree while making a meaningful impact.

All proceeds from this fundraiser directly support the Blue Paddle Campaign, a program that raises funds for Blue Lake’s Campership Program, which provides summer camp experiences for children who might otherwise miss out due to financial barriers.

At Blue Lake Camp, we believe that every child deserves the chance to experience the joys of summer camp: paddling on the lake, stargazing under a clear sky, building friendships, and developing skills that foster resilience, community, and leadership.

Thanks to the generosity of donors and tree buyers, the Campership Program has enabled hundreds of kids to enjoy these transformative camp experiences over the years.

This fundraiser offers beautiful, sustainably sourced Christmas trees provided by Kootenay Tree Farms.

Trees are available for pre-order until November 30, with pre-order pickups and same-day sales scheduled for December 7 at Cranbrook Dodge.

Trees are available “by donation,” making it possible for every household to take part, while ensuring that all proceeds go directly to the campership program. Pre-orders help us plan inventory and maximize our impact, as any funds raised are used to send even more local kids to camp.

For more information, to pre-order, or to donate directly to the campaign, please email us at [email protected].

Let’s make this holiday season memorable for our community and for children in need of support. Every Christmas tree purchased helps build a brighter future for a child.

Happy holidays and thank you for your support!
