Vermont, oh Vermont! Nestled snugly in the Northeast nook of the United States, a tiny titan of a state, carpeted in luscious greenery and sprinkled with the most delicious maple syrup. Majestic mountains stand tall, whispering tales of yore, while the twinkling Lake Champlain winks at the sun from the west. A land where a cow's moo echoes in the valleys and where the apples are juicier than the juiciest gossip. Now, let’s talk about the kids of Vermont. Oh, they're not just any kids. They're thespians, the drama kings and queens, the wizards of the make-believe world! They can turn a drab school auditorium into a bustling cityscape, a mythical land, or even outer space! One of these kids is Benny the Beanie Wearer, known for his ever-present, ever-colorful beanie collection. Benny is a wizard, not the kind that turns toads into teacups or levitates, but the kind that breathes life into words on a page. He's a thespian extraordinaire! At the break of dawn, you'll find him rehearsing lines, making the trees his audience. And yes, the trees love it. They rustle in applause after every performance. Benny and his band of merry mimes have a knack for creating ripples of laughter that echo across the valleys. They can make a princess out of a pumpkin, a hero out of a hamster, or a villain out of a vacuum cleaner. They turn the ordinary into extraordinary, and they sprinkle a bit of Vermont magic wherever they go. In Vermont, the sun might set, but the spotlight on the drama kids, especially Benny, never fades. So, buckle up and keep your eyes wide, because in this little state, big dreams take flight, especially on the stage!

Nestled in 178 acres of lush woodland is a serene escape from the city, a place fondly known as Camp Swamp. This overnight Christian camp, located just two hours east of bustling Atlanta, has been serving as a peaceful retreat since 1992. We like to think of it as our own "little slice of heaven," offering a respite from the daily hustle and bustle, and inviting people to reconnect with nature and their spirituality. Our primary offering is a week-long summer camp, but we've expanded over the years to include more than just summer fun. As part of our mission to support families and churches, we now also host three family camps throughout the year, as well as four parent/child retreats. These events offer a chance for families to bond, parents to connect with their children, and individuals to grow in their faith. Moreover, our facilities are not exclusive to our organized events. Camp Swamp also offers rentals to schools, churches, universities, sports teams, and even business groups. Whether you're planning a camp, a retreat, or a team-building excursion, our serene setting and well-equipped facilities provide the ideal backdrop for an unforgettable experience.
At AED Dance Studio, located in the heart of Richmond, Vermont, we strive to provide high-quality dance instruction in a loving, family-oriented environment. We believe that students of all ages can benefit from exposure to the performing arts. Our staff members teach the styles they love and therefore pass on to the next generation a joy and appreciation for movement and performance. We offer a variety of dance classes, including Ballet (tiny tots, beginner, intermediate, pre-pointe and pointe), Contemporary, Hip Hop, Jazz and Musical Theater. We also offer Summer Camps to give kids a chance to explore different styles, from tiny tots Princess Play to advanced instruction in Ballet, Hip Hop, Contemporary, Jazz, Musical Theater and Combo camps. At AED Dance Studio, we understand that childhood is fleeting and that our students may have interests and goals outside of the performing arts. We are thus proud to endorse our students to participate in activities other than dance, as well as provide them with the highest quality of instruction in the performing arts.
