Camp Meade Announces Bees & Friends Ballet
Ballet Vermont is bringing its Bees & Friends ballet to
Camp Meade on May 30 to celebrate spring with its ballet
depicting bees, bugs and birds and their spring rituals.
The show is set to Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons and features
dancers costumed as caterpillars, fire ies, lady bugs and
more. The show illuminates the small creatures that are critical
to a healthy Vermont and explores pollination, metamorphosis,
bio-luminescence and more.
The Camp Meade shows take place at 2:00 p.m. and 5:30
p.m.
Katie Decker, executive director of the ballet said that the
45 minute show that is staged outside on the grass is appropriate
for children and adults alike as both an educational opportunity
but also an opportunity for kids to dance right along.
“We’re really trying to make this accessible, especially for
kids. Kids love to dance. They’re not self-conscious and they
don’t get many chances to see dance. At our shows they can
dance along and then have pictures taken of themselves with
dancers in bee costumes and tutus,” Decker explained.
“The show takes place in a garden setting and each character
has a dance that they do which highlights the important
roles that these critters play in our ecosystem,” she said.
For example, there is a pas de deux between two fireies
whose varying lights attract each other through their ash patterns.
In addition to the dance performance Bees & Friends shows
generally highlight some aspect of farming in Vermont along
with local food. The Camp Meade show will have stations
for kids to eplore, including a ladybug station and buttery
Chelsea, Barre, West Fairlee Girls Invited to Summer Day Camp
Making new friends. Becoming a skilled swimmer. Building
the confidence of being able to make her own decisions.
That’s what Girl Scout summer day camp offers. Don’t miss
out! Camp Farnsworth is open this summer with a special oneweek
day camp program, Splash and Splatter, running July
5-9, with free bus service provided from Barre, Chelsea and
West Fairlee.
Girls entering kindergarten through Grade 8 are invited to
explore forest trails, swim in the saltwater pool, boat across
sparkling Lake Abenaki, sing songs, and make new friends.
Day camp is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and costs $245 for the
week. There’s no need to be a Girl Scout already – membership
is part of the camp experience. Financial assistance is
available, too.
At summer day camp, your camper will have counselors
who genuinely want her to be the best version of herself and
who will encourage her to try new activities, explore the outdoors,
and connect with other girls in a way that only these
mentors can. While your camper plays gaga ball, she is practicing
cooperation while she builds her first campfire, she is
conquering her fears; while she plans the Capture the Flag
strategy, she is leading the way.
Guided by her counselors, she’ll have new adventures every
day at camp, and make decisions about how she spends her
time – at the craft area, at the nature pavilion, at the archery

with local honey-makers and others on a variety of attractions
for the show.
Bees & Friends performances are one of several seasonal
focuses for the troupe. They also offer summer Farm to Ballet
camps for kids. Bees & Friends is a production of Ballet
Vermont which runs rehearsals at Green Mountain Performing
Arts in Waterbury and features dancers from all over the state.
The artistic director of Ballet Vermont and Bees & Friends
is Chatch Pregger. He returned to Vermont after dancing professionally
at multiple companies. He began working with
adult ballet dancers in Vermont 15 years ago, developing this
company of professional and amateur dancers.

peer and mentor relationships and have opportunities to contribute
and learn while participating in meaningful decisionmaking.

She’ll plan the activities for all camp; plan out a cookout (including
clean up!) and create a skit or song for family night.
What begins at Girl Scouts will take her anywhere she
wants to go. See more about day camp at Camp Farnsworth
