All conferences are held at accredited universities with 24-hour campus security. ALL staff comply with annual background checks. We adhere to a ZERO tolerance policy for any type of bullying, abuse, or hazing.

As such, we assign each student to a staff-member led group that meets throughout the day and evening. Students are required to attend all sessions. Staff conducts room checks each night at curfew. Should a student be unaccounted for at any point, Staff will alert the Director to begin process of locating student. This process includes staff physically searching for student, campus security notification, and contacting parents. Students who fail to comply with stated rules regarding attendance and curfew are subject to immediate dismissal from the conference.

We take your child's safety and security seriously.  Any student with irresponsible behaviors and authority issues should NOT attend the conference.

1. Go to the Apply Now page and chose between BLC 1 or BLC 2. Because all of our conferences are similar, delegates may only register for one event per summer. Can't get enough? Come back next year and bring a friend!
2. Complete the registration online, including the payment process.
3. Watch for our emails. You'll receive an automatic email that lets you know your submission was successful.  When your application is accepted, we'll send a confirmation email with more information about what to pack for the conference, when to arrive, and where to go when you get there.
4. Mark the dates for BLC on your calendar! We're holding a space just for you, and the conference won't be the same without you. If you have to cancel for any reason, notify us immediately at [email protected]

$50 of your registration is nonrefundable. If you notify us more than 15 days prior to the conference, we can refund the remainder of your payment.

No refunds are issued for cancellations made less than 15 days prior to the conference. Space and materials are already reserved by that date. Out of courtesy, please notify us if you are unable to attend, so we know not to look for you during on-site registration.

Switching between BLC conferences within the same summer is possible in some cases.

Please contact us at [email protected] or 803-628-0000 as soon as you know your delegate will be unable to attend.

If the student cancels up to 15 days prior to the event, your organization will receive a full refund less the $50 application fee. If the student cancels after that, no refund is available.

To avoid losing funds, you may substitute another student in their place. If the conference is almost to capacity, you may need to substitute a student of the same gender.

Delegates stay in dorm rooms at our host college campus.  We use separate housing for males and females.

Delegates will have a roommate that is the same age unless a roommate is requested.

Each room has twin beds and a chest of drawers.  Most rooms will be on a hall with a common bathroom.

Students must bring linens, a pillow, towels, etc. – these are not provided.

You may request a roommate when you complete your application.  Both you and your friend must request each other; we will not honor requests made by only one person. You may only request to room with someone of the same gender.

If you do not complete your roommate request when you register, you may log back into your application to add it or email us at [email protected]

We will accept roommate requests up to 10 days before the conference begins.

Your confirmation packet will have detailed information for what you should wear at BLC.  Our atmosphere is very relaxed, so plan on casual clothing that meets our dress code: shorts, t-shirts, flip flops, tennis shoes, etc.

BLC hosts a semi-formal banquet. For girls, a nice dress or skirt and top is appropriate. Guys should wear dress slacks (khakis are fine), a nice button-up collared shirt, tie, and a sport coat if you already have one.

There will also be a team building activity where your clothes will get dirty and wet; bring old shorts and a t-shirt for this, but please don't wear white.

The talent show is not mandatory; however, if you’d like to perform, come prepared with music (iTunes), instruments and/or costumes.

It is the student’s responsibility to arrange their own transportation.

If students fly in for the conference, it is the student’s responsibility to arrange their own transportation. We do not provide transportation to and from the conference and the airport.
