Construction camp Contact abdladybug@gmail.com for registration information.
Our Goal for this camp is to help older children
develop a love for creative problem solving and
hands-on projects. During this week, we plan on
using materials such as clay, sand, cardboard, and
even natural materials from our local woods to create
creative structures. We hope to use the theory of the
scientific method to even test these structures for
durability, strength, and usefulness. Campers should
bring their own packed lunch and we will provide
healthy snacks twice each day. We will be accepting
children ages 7, 8, 9, and 10.

Hailed as a band with “galactic ambitions,” Blato Zlato is a powerhouse Balkan music collective that weaves the magic of traditional Eastern European folk music with contemporary textural majesty. The group captivates listeners with dark and haunting three-part vocal harmonies and thunderous odd-metered rhythms. As a part of the Balkan musical diaspora, Blato Zlato explores the immigrant experience and seeks to build meaningful cultural and musical bridges between continents, with particular focus on Bulgarian folk songs and Bulgarian language-based compositions.
Based in New Orleans, Blato Zlato has gained a loyal international following after touring in both the U.S. and Europe. The group has been featured several times on Bulgarian National Television and Radio and has appeared on Folk Radio UK, NYC Radio Live, and the Village Voice. In 2019, Blato Zlato released their anticipated sophomore album, In The Wake, which charted at #33 on the Transglobal World Music Chart’s 2019-2020 Top 100 Albums. In 2022, the band was selected as an Official Showcasing Artist at South By Southwest (SXSW) Music Festival & Conference. Other highlights include an array of diverse musical collaborations with such artists as Nels Cline (Wilco), Binky Griptite (Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings), Leyla McCalla, Carl LeBlanc (Sun Ra Arkestra), Helen Gillet, and Wendell Brunious (Preservation Hall Jazz Band).
