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
