BLUE LAKE TOWNSHIP -
All three western Michigan arts camp orchestra members whose illnesses grounded a planned European
tour tested positive for swine flu.
According to the Associated Press, James McCurtis, spokesman for the Michigan Department of Community Health, said test results returned Friday on two orchestra members who became ill while on tour in Ohio earlier this month were positive.
A third previously tested positive.
The teens are members of the Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp's International Youth Symphony Orchestra, who each paid between $5,000 and $6,000 for a three-week tour of Italy and Germany. Camp officials canceled the tour, but offered the orchestra members the chance to tour Europe next year free of charge.
The camp is situated in Muskegon County about 40 miles northwest of Grand Rapids.
