‘Try new things every day’
New Brownsville camp connects kids to community, outdoors
By PATRICK O’GRADY Valley News Correspondent
BROWNSVILLE The recipe for guaranteed summer fun is simple: Start with a hot, sunny day. Mix in large amounts of cool water at a swimming hole. Then simply toss in some excited youngsters and results come out perfectly every time.
At the Brownsville Base Camp in late July, that formula worked as nearly all of the campers in attendance on a Friday afternoon during the camp’s second week in July said that swimming was one of their favorite parts of the camp unsurprising given the month’s high temperatures.
After getting some lessons from lifeguard Sami Yates, the children splashed into the water of Mill Brook, with several swimming in the deep section below a collection of rocks. The three dozen campers were in grades kindergarten through seventh grade and live in West Windsor and surrounding towns including Windsor, Hartland and Woodstock.
Lucy Moore, 11, of Brownsville, was all smiles after cooling off in the brook.
“The camp is really fun and I can’t really choose one thing,” Lucy said when asked which part is her favorite. “It is all different and you get to try new things every day.”
In its inaugural year, the Brownsville Base Camp ran for four weeks July 8 to Aug. 2 and, with weekly registration, families could send their child or children for the number of weeks they choose. Attendance averaged about 30 each of the first two weeks.
The camp was created earlier this year when resident Chris Nesbitt connected with the camp’s co-founders
Amanda Yates, a teacher at Albert Bridge School and Jessica Brodie, executive director of Vermont Recreation and Parks Association. Nesbitt said he had been trying to start a child care facility in town but was coming up against a lot of challenges, including finding a location. When Yates and Brodie reached out to him with their idea, Nesbitt said he got on board immediately.
He helped raise around $30,000 in seed money and establish the camp’s nonprofit status, among other administrative and legal steps needed to create the camp. Meanwhile, Yates and Brodie wrote the detailed camp procedures. Nesbitt said they raised enough money to offer financial assistance and lunch is provided every day. It costs $250 per week and $200 for siblings; financial assistance is available.
“What I am most proud of is that this is done with local people and local initiative,” Nesbitt said. “We are doing it ourselves.”
The nonprofit launched in March and started enrolling campers. March is considered late for most summer camps many are already filled before then but organizers had no trouble finding interest among families. The founders also feel fortunate that the village setting as if it were designed for a camp with kids in mind has ev-

erything they need within walking distance.
“I think the setting of the town is like this magical place,”Brodie said, while standing at the edge of the brook and watching the children swim. “You have the school, (where they gather at the start of the day) the library, the town hall, the (Ascutney) outdoor center, the mountain, the river. It is all right here.”
Searching for crayfish captured the imagination of Annisa Enos, 11, who was staying with her aunt while attending camp.
“The brook is interesting and there are a lot of crayfish. I almost caught one,”Annisa said.
The camp has a number of other activities that vary depending on the weather. Swimming in Mill Brook behind the West Windsor Volunteer Fire Department station became an afternoon routine because of the heat, while mountain biking at the Albert Bridge School took place during the cooler mornings.
Yates, also a co-founder and director, said her son, Reeve, 7, discovered newfound freedom on two wheels at camp. There is a certified bike instructor three days a week and a bike rodeo with an obstacle course.
Watching the others ride, Yates said Reeve declared, “I want to ride like those guys”and he soon gained the confidence to try. It’s a chance many of the children wouldn’t otherwise have because they don’t have space to ride, she said.
“He learned how to ride the bike the last two days,”she said. “He finally mastered the art of biking.”
Bike riding was also a camp highlight for Hazel Toloss, 6, of Brownsville, who took a break from swimming to describe her camp experience.
“Today I got my training wheels off,”Hazel said proudly with a big smile.
It was one example of what Yates and Brodie want for the campers. The group also hiked on Mount Ascutney, had an outdoor class at the Ascutney Outdoor Center, story and craft time at the Mary L. Blood Memorial Library and took a field trip to the Sherman Manning Aquatic Facility in White River Junction.
“They have a mix of structured time and free time, Brodie said. “We want them to have enough freedom to have fun and learn.”
Yates said their goal in starting the camp was to provide a local child care option for families as many other camps require more daily driving.
“We came at it with similar interests in wanting to support families,”Yates said. “Second, We have a strong outdoor program at Albert Bridge (school) and we wanted to continue to provide opportunities to be in nature and doing traditional summer activities.”
As Yates and Brodie watched the children play in the water, they both were excited for the camp’s success in its first year and said they would like to expand it to six or eight weeks next year.
“It is nice to have something in town that is accessible,”Brodie said.

Students fill all roles necessary for successful production
By PATRICK O’GRADY Valley News Correspondent
WHITE RIVER JUNCTION
Theater camp may seem an unlikely choice for people who have never envisioned themselves being on stage.
But those who have done it have said that the experience is rewarding for everyone.
“Theater is one of the most welcoming and comforting places,” said Macy Bettwieser, who had one of the lead roles as Donna Sheridan in “Mama Mia the Musical,” which was staged by the BroadwayVentures summer camp at Hartford High School in mid-July. “No matter who you are, you are going to find friends. No one judges anyone. We are all supportive.”
All the roles, not just the main actors, are important to have a successful production, said Alicia Stein, the music director for “Mama Mia.”
Pulling a musical together in two
weeks with the singing, dancing and acting all at once requires everyone from the leading actors to the stagehands to do their jobs right.
“Everyone matters,” Stein said. “If even one person doesn’t do their job it can change the whole outcome.”
Inside the high school auditorium, one day before the first show on July 18, the 45 students from grades sixth to 12th, completed the final dress rehearsal in the morning. “Mama Mia,” a musical comedy about a bride-to-be trying to find her real father, includes several songs by the 1970s Swedish pop group ABBA.
After lunch, the students got some final instructions on minor adjustments to lines, emotions and dancing from Andrea Nardone, choreographer and co-producer with her husband, director Brycen Nardone. Because the camp is only two weeks, it is more intensive than the

typical preparation for a play, said Brycen Nardone, a middle school social studies teacher at Dothan Brook Middle School. Auditions are held in May and the actors are given their scripts to memorize. It costs $270 for Hartford residents and $290 for non-residents; scholarships are available.
“We are auditioned-based so the students in it are definitely up to the challenge of pulling it together in two weeks,”he said. “They come to camp knowing their lines, but nothing else about the production.
“They are highly motivated kids.”
A first run-through is held by the fourth day of the first week.
“I wanted to do ‘Mama Mia’for a long time and I think we had the right cast for it this year,”Br ycen Nardone said.
The three performances sold out in the 330-seat theater and a waiting list quickly began, Nardone said on the afternoon of the first performance.
The production’s success begins with the cast and others learning their roles. Stein said it was evident on the first day the attendees put in the work leading up to the camp.
“The kids are great,”Stein said, while standing where the band was set up in a corner auditorium just off the stage. “They do a lot of work solo, listening to the music, practicing their parts. Then they come in and we put it all together.”
This is the fourth year the Nardones have held BroadwayVentures, which was borne out of similar experiences the Nardones had while growing up in New York, Brycen said.
“It has always been a dream of mine to have something like this on my own,”Brycen Nardone said.
Quinn Chartier, who had the role of Donna’s daughter, Sophia Sheridan, and will be a junior at Hartford this year, has been in all four BroadwayVentures productions, starting with “Charlie Brown.”
“Being able to put a show on in two weeks is crazy,”Chartier said. “But everyone comes in really prepared. I was doing my lines every night and learning all the songs.
“Just try it out,”Chartier urges others about the experience of theater. “Go to the audition. No matter what role you get, it is a great experience.”
It is Bettwieser’s second BroadwayVentures and she loves how different the preparation is for production compared to others she has been a part of.
“I love how fast-paced it is,”said Bettwieser, 17, who has been singing
“It amazes me the level of talent we have every year from the kids ... For some it is their first time (performing), others their 10th so we have different ranges of experience.”
BRYCEN NARDONE, middle school social studies teacher at Dothan Brook Middle School
since a young age and will be a senior at Hartford High School this fall. “Everyone is dedicated and everyone wants to be here.”
Not only is there commitment, but Brycen Nardone said the talent is there as well.
“We have been really fortunate. Some outstanding talent has come our way,”he said. “It amazes me the level of talent we have every year from the kids who choose to do this program. For some it is their first time (performing), others their 10th so we have different ranges of experience.”
Nate Flockton will be a Hartford High School junior this year and has been performing about 10 years, including a part five years ago in “Roald Dahl’s Matilda the Musical” at nearby Northern Stage. Flockton, whose role was that of Ralph Brigth,
one of Sophie’s possible fathers, said he does not plan to pursue acting professionally but does want to keep the skills he has learned so he will continue with it in some capacity after graduation.
Flockton, who adds his singing talent to “Mama Mia,”encourages anyone, even those who don’t see themselves in a stage role, to consider trying it because there are so many benefits that transcend theater.
“It is a great way to experience new things, challenge yourself and build your confidence and your speaking,”Flockton said following the dress rehearsal. “It will open you to a whole new world and it is a great way to meet new people.”
Cora Winslow, Sophia’s aunt in the play, said anyone she knows who has given theater a shot has come
away with great memories.
“You won’t regret it,”said Winslow, who will be senior at Hartford this year, has been in all four BroadwayVentures camps and has been singing and dancing since a young age. “You will love it. I have never met anyone who regrets trying it.”
The Nardones’goal is for everyone who attends the camp to come away with not only a love of musical theater, but a newfound confidence.
“I think the biggest thing is giving them the confidence in their ability to accomplish something that seems difficult at first,”Brycen Nardone said. “We want to help kids feel confident to step on the stage and perform to the best of their ability.”

‘These kids want to learn’
Campers learn cooking, carpentry skills at Claremont camps
By PATRICK O’GR ADY Valley News Correspondent
CLAREMONT —Noah Conrad loves an opportunity to build something. Olivia Sartwell sees the fun in learning how to cook.
Both got to explore their interests during one-week camps in early July at Sugar River Valley Technical Center in Claremont. Noah, 13, of Claremont, improved his carpentry skills, while Olivia, 10, of Cornish, learned to cook on her own.
“I did this last year and I love building things,”Noah said as worked on two plexiglass shields with a wooden frame that he and his brother will use as they chase each other around playing the game of
Splatrball, which is similar to paintball.
Noah said he came up with the idea of the shield that he could see through and cut a sheet of plexiglass to 18 by 30 inches then glued it to a square wooden frame.
“I build Lego sets at home, but I thought it would be way more fun to build something bigger,”he said.
The aim of the camp is to introduce middle school students to the trades, teacher Michael Burnett said. Since Burnett began the camp three years ago, about half the participants have enrolled in his construction trades class in high school. Camp costs $25 and is open to incoming sixth- seventh- and eighth- grade
students in any school district.
“The overarching goal of this summer camp is to motivate these students and educate them about the offerings here at the tech center,”Burnett said. “...The majority of the students who take this summer camp and those enrolled in construction trades are very mechanical in nature and they know that about themselves so this area of study lends itself to being motivated every day.”
Burnett begins the camp with a simple project and during the week works up to more challenging ones for a total of five projects, which students can bring home to show their parents.
“Of course students are at differ-
ent levels when they come to me, so I accommodate their levels and their knowledge, and differentiate the instr uction,”Burnett said.
The construction trades room contains various machines, including table saws and drills. There’s lumber all around and several finished projects from previous classes.
A tech education class in middle school spurred the interest of Alex West, who is entering eighth grade.
“I enjoyed that so I thought this would be interesting,”West said, while working on a bench that he began building on the first day.

YOUTH MENTORING WORKS
Young adults who had mentors:
Are more likely to report engaging in productive and beneficial activities than youth without a mentor.
Have more positive visions of themselves and their futures and achieve more positive outcomes in school, the workplace, and their communities.
Report setting higher educational goals and were more likely to graduate from high school and even go on to college.
"WHEN ASKED BY MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY HOW THEY CAN HAVE AN IMPACT ON THE SAFETY, HEALTH, AND VIBRANCY OF THEIR COMMUNITIES, MY NUMBER ONE ANSWER WAS ALWAYS: MENTOR A YOUNG PERSON.”

Basics of culinary arts
West used a blueprint to cut the pieces, but added his own adjustments to the bench’s front edge with several curve cuts, he said. He clamped the bench top to his workbench then, using a jigsaw, carefully cut along penciled curves.
“The most challenging part was getting the semicircles (on each leg) to be identical,”West said. He cut one, then traced it to cut the other.
“I love construction,”he said. “It reminds me of my brother. This is something he would do and I will probably give it to him.”
Burnett said he has nine students in the camp and it is a pleasure working with them and teaching them about construction.
“It is very motivating for me to come to work each day and see these kids want to learn,”Bur nett said.
Inside the kitchen just off the Teal Lantern dining room at the tech center, 20 middle school students in the culinary arts camp were between recipes and busy doing one of a cook’s most important tasks: keeping the kitchen clean. They were washing down steel countertops, and running dishes and utensils through the dishwasher.
Sarah Kainu, the tech center’s culinary arts instructor, is in her sixth year with the camp. She said the mix of abilities ranges from some who cook at home with their parents to others who are being introduced to cooking and are interested in learning.
Having fun is a key ingredient to the camp so the students will want to return, Kainu said. But she also wants to impart a passion for cooking on students, along with a basic knowledge of how to cook from
scratch at home with ingredients on hand, and understanding weights and measurements.
After lunch on the Wednesday of the one-week camp, the students broke into groups to make Rice Krispies Treats. Also on the menu for the week were blueberry muffins, macaroni and cheese, breakfast sandwiches, pizza dough and pizza, and meatballs.
Learning about heating and thickening sauces on a gas stove was new to Charles Goss, 11, of Claremont, who is entering sixth grade, because his family has an electric stove at home.
“Making the homemade macaroni and cheese was my favorite,” Charles said.
Meanwhile, Eva White, 12, of Claremont, was learning about various cooking processes and how to cook safely, including not leaving the stove on when something is cooking.
“I just really like cooking and
learning the rule of what to do and not to do,”said White, who will be a seventh grader this year.
Olivia Sartwell, of Cornish, who is entering sixth grade, said her sister took the course and it “looked like fun.”
“I’ve always been interested in cooking and I’m learning how to cook without somebody telling me step by step,”Olivia said. “I think it is fun trying to cook on your own.”
Lacey Simonds, a 2024 Stevens High School graduate who is working to save money for culinary school, is in her second year as a culinary assistant with the camp. She enjoys introducing students to cooking and watching them learn, she said.
“A lot of them come in knowing nothing,”Simonds said. “It is challenging, but it is a great experience working with them. They ask great questions and they really learn a lot.”

CAMP FROM S12
The back-to-school paradox
Emotional honesty between parents, children is key
By MIRIAM VORAN For the Valley News
Every fall, parents write out their back-to-school lists: New clothes, new school supplies, new backpack, good sleep hygiene —on and on.
You’ll easily find advice for the comprehensive checklist that helps your children start the new school year strong. One resource I like is American Academy of Pediatrics’Healthychildren.org.
While parents and children consult about school supplies, they don’t discuss their confusing feelings about “back to school”time nearly as much. Thanks to the animated film “Inside Out 2,”feelings are back in the spotlight. The film dramatizes Riley’s inner life, reminding us of these unbidden, confusing disruptors — both painful and delicious —the “enliveners and enrichers”of our lives.
Some kids and parents really do seem to sail through life, singing “hello new adventure.”They embrace “new year, new beginnings.”But many of us inhabit a more complex emotional landscape. We both love and hate growth and change –whether it’s starting kindergarten or middle school, or just moving to the next grade.
Sometimes you or your child engage the paradox head-on. Sometimes, the emotions seep through indirectly —in sleeplessness, power struggles, or your child’s reluctance to take a growing-up step.
You may not know whether you regret your children’s return to school or want to be rid of them.
You’re tired of organizing summer camps and play dates: Thank God you get your own schedule back. But sadness creeps in when you recall those lazy, timeless afternoons cozying up together with a book, the scent of their hair and warmth of their bodies. Such closeness won’t last forever. One of these years, they’ll outgrow dreamy “mommy time”or “daddy time.”
You’ll wish you’d savored every second, even as you can’t wait until they’re back at school.
Parental honesty is a great relief to children. Listening to your own mixed feelings makes it easier to listen to theirs. Maybe they’re missing an old teacher, a friend placed in a different class, or summertime freedom. But if you keep listening, you’ll also likely hear their pride about moving up in the grade school hierarchy, excitement about what they’ll learn, and relief to get back with their peers.
Listening to their mixed feelings is a gift. I tell kids that feelings are like a multi-flavored ice cream cone. Some flavors they’ll like more than others and some they ’ll hate.
So listen, but resist the urge to reassure or problem solve. This teaches your children that all feelings are bearable.
Then express confidence in their ability to handle the new grade. They might be sad about losses –and they might be nervous –but in the end, they’ll be proud
of this growing-up step.
The new school year is also a natural time for kids to take a grown-up step at home. Review together what they ’re in charge of, what you do together and what you still do for them. It’s time to “level up.”
To decide what they should add, think back on your power struggles: Has it been over clothing choices, getting through the morning routine on time, or working on that book report? Rough patches usually hint at the task you’ve been holding on to, a task they’re ready to take on themselves. For example, you hound your kid through the morning routine, but could teach them to follow a clock instead.
Growing children can also assume new jobs. Perhaps yours could pack lunch. Of course, you’ll have to teach kitchen skills and provide access to tools and food. Then you’ll fret: maybe, if your children learn to make lunch, you won’t be as close. They won’t need you in the old ways.
But you’ll also be proud to have raised children who can take care of themselves. They’ll use your confidence in them as a lifelong resource. And you’ll find more mature ways to enjoy closeness. Over time, your relationship becomes more a partnership around feelings, thoughts and problems. You’ll be someone with whom they can reflect on their new world of school and friends, the world that belongs to them.
When helping your children take on a new responsibility, remember to go step-wise. Parents often skip this crucial intermediate step: Standing by to admire. This step pays off in the end. It helps them internalize the admiring, loving parent and become an admiring, loving parent to themselves.
Independence won’t pitch them into the lonely abyss: You might still hang out in the kitchen, companionably working together on your separate projects. You might notice that their sandwiches don’t look like yours, but so what? They won’t starve.
You might ask, “Was it fun to make your own lunch?”It’s a subtle shift from “I’m so proud you made your own lunch.”
The shift matters, because the pride and pleasure is in your child. That’s the best recipe for becoming an “I can do”person.
Of course, in real life, it’s never easy. But I wanted to pass on a perspective I’ve found useful. If you’re still struggling with “back to school”and how to help your children take growing-up steps, remember that hidden feelings and motivations derail the best-laid conscious plans. When a child resists a growing-up step, you’re probably both resisting your feelings about growth and change. Those feelings can guide you each to selfknowledge.
