JoyfulBY CAROL GOETZ, AssociAte Director of Development, AnnuAl report eDitor

In Windows into Waldorf: An Introduction to Waldorf Education,

David Mitchell writes that the Waldorf approach makes possible

“an education that is joyful with a purpose.” Many of Camphill

Special School’s friends do not realize that our School is the only

Waldorf school for children and youth with intellectual and develop-

mental disabilities in North America. This means that our students

enjoy the benefits of loving and imaginative teachers committed to

creating enthusiasm for learning as they present a developmentally

appropriate curriculum filled with history, language, art, drama,

science, music, and…Joy! We hope our annual report will

provide you not only with information about our challenges and

achievements in 2009–2010, but also with a greater appreciation

for the joyful learning that transpires within our schoolhouse, our

homes, and our community each and every day.

a MeSSage froM Craig l. aDaMSDear Friends,

It is my sincere pleasure to inform Camphill Special School’s hundreds of supporters

that thanks to your generosity of heart and enduring confidence in our mission, 2009–

2010 was the most successful fundraising period in our nearly fifty-year history. Amidst

continued economic uncertainty our family members and friends truly “stepped up

to the plate” to help us exceed our Annual Village Fund goal and move us very close

to achieving our largest capital campaign goal ever. I cannot adequately express my

appreciation for these sustained and tangible expressions of love for Camphill Special

School. Thank you.

This year I also wish to thank you all for the honor of having led the School’s Board of

Directors for the past six years. It has been both a privilege and a joy to lead a Board

that has recognized and met the myriad challenges that are part of not only preserv-

ing the School, but also of helping it to strengthen and grow. Our recent accreditations

by AWSNA and Middle States, our Sharing Life and Learning campaign to expand the

Transition Program, and the continued success of our School of Curative Education and

Social Therapy in training the future teachers and leaders of the Camphill Movement all

are key examples of the School’s success.

Camphill Special School is a place that nurtures and enriches my heart and spirit.

Thank you for making it a part of your lives as well.

Craig L. Adams

Retiring President

Board of Directors

Craig will continue to serve our School as a member of the Board of Directors.

Guy Alma, Director of Development, presents Craig Adams with a gift from the School in recognition of Craig’s six years of service as President of our Board of Directors. “Craig’s tenure,” said Guy, “demonstrated the true meaning of leadership. Always a steady influence with an eye for the essential, Craig con-tinually asked us to push towards a future that we determined for ourselves. We have learned to look ahead and chart our own course with resolve. Camphill Special School simply would not be the place it is today without having had Craig at the helm.”

Joyful learning

Our kindergarten is “inclusive”: it includes both typi-

cally developing youngsters, such as the children

of staff members or siblings of our older students,

and young children with special needs. In a home-

like environment where things happen predictably,

teacher Annika Duesberg engages the children in

activities such as baking, painting, handwork, and

gardening. Meaningful stories and an abundance of

free play nurture young imaginations, toys are made

of natural materials, and objects from the great

outdoors decorate the classroom. In Last Child In

The Woods: Saving Our Children From Nature-Deficit

Disorder, child advocacy expert and author Richard

Louv writes that direct exposure to nature is essen-

tial for healthy childhood development. There is no

nature-deficit at Camphill Special School! Nowhere

is this more evident than in our kindergarten, where

Annika ensures that all her young charges are outside

nearly every day.

explorerSFrom what I’ve learned so far about the Vikings from

Scandinavia was that they were the very first explor-

ers. They traveled around the world to explore and

discover the unknown. They often stole lots of food,

animals and sometimes even people. Some of them

were experts with ship building and sailing along the

ocean blue. Their materials were oak trees, animal

hair and spruce roots.

One of the other vikings called Ingolf Arnson had

killed two men while in a fight, so because of that

big incident all of the other Vikings banished him. He

took all of his possessions pluss his family and sailed

to this new piece of land called Iceland where there’s

good green land for all of his animals to graze.

Leif Eriksson left with some other men to find and

discover Vinland which is now called North America.

The Chinese invented many different things such

as: silk, paper, porcelain, dominoes, wheelbarrows,

saddles, kites, fans, compasses, spaghetti, tea, ice

cream, fireworks and sunglasses.

Marco Polo was born into a very wealthy family in

Venice Italy. His father and uncle were merchants

who traveled the whole way to China for some silk.

Then again in 1271, they set off with Marco Polo to

Jerusalem in the Holy Land and then back to China.

When they arrived they got what the emperor asked

for which was the holy oil, but they couldn’t find one

hundred Christian men so they brought two monks

instead.

BY ELiZABETH, 7th GrADer

In Camphill Special School’s

Waldorf curriculum, teachers

present subject matter

imaginatively and artistically,

beginning each day with an

uninterrupted “main lesson”

focusing on one subject.

A variety of activities are

developed around this subject

and students make their own

textbooks, referred to as

main lesson books, which can

contain stories, experiments,

or poems and colorful

illustrations. A book is made

for each main lesson block.

This is one of Elizabeth’s

main lesson books, created

in Ginny Thimme’s class and

reprinted just as Elizabeth

wrote it.

Yesterday I went on a field trip to Philadelphia for

a visit to China Town. First I saw the gate of China

Town which was like an arch. The second thing was

the beautiful temple (Chinese church) which was filled

with many different kinds of meatels and precious

jewels and gems. I needed to take off my shoes for I

was upon holy ground.

The third thing I did was I went to fortune cookie fac-

tory to discover how they were made. The forth thing

was the Four Rivers restaurant where I had lunch. I

ate lo mein with meat and a side or oranges. Then

last but not least was the gift shop.

eigHtH graDe graDuationa poignant rite of paSSage

Because Camphill Special School is a Waldorf school, fully accredited by the Associa-

tion of Waldorf Schools of North America, we believe that a child’s inner need for secu-

rity is best met when a single teacher (with many helpers along the way!) accompanies

the child through all eight grades of elementary school. This means that leaving eighth

grade and entering high school truly is a tender—but highly exciting—transition.

Like every Camphill celebration, the eighth grade

graduation was an extraordinary experience. As a

rite of passage it contained elements of graduations

across the country yet it was connected completely

to Camphill’s principles and values.

As families gathered in the Blue Room at Karl Koenig

Schoolhouse, we wondered if the graduates would

be in caps and gowns accompanied by a record-

ing of “Pomp and Circumstance.” No way; it was so

much better and much more organic than that. The

children processed in singing African songs, dancing

African dances, and wearing African garments they

had made in handwork class in honor of the African

main lesson block they just had completed in their

Waldorf curriculum. It was a beautiful sight and there

was not a dry eye in the house.

Three of the children who studied piano with Elsbeth

performed beautifully. Teacher extraordinaire Becky

Rutherford began the “thank yous” by building on the

African theme: it takes

a village to raise a child.

Each student presented

a rose to specialist

teachers, staff members

and coworkers, former

teacher, and future

teacher. Becky explained

that the children had

learned how beautiful and good the earth is and it

was a call to action to everyone in that room to care

for our planet. I shivered, realizing that every gradu-

ation across the country would be referencing the

very same thing in the light of the disaster in our Gulf

region. While our children were having a very singular

experience at Camphill, they are part of the world

at large.

Franki’s mother Marlene presented Becky with a

beautiful scrapbook and spoke eloquently about

Becky’s exceptional teaching and our children’s

progress in Becky’s class. It was emotional for all

of us. In true Camphill fashion, a festive and fun

lunch followed the ceremony. It is a day I always will

remember, for it embodied everything great about our

children and about Camphill Special School.

an artiSt in our MiDSt: tranSforMing traSHWhilst studying the History of Art many years

ago, I was fascinated by the work of Kurt Schwit-

ters. Schwitters was part of the modern art move-

ment known as Dadaism and he created much of

his artwork out of trash: bus tickets, wheels, wire,

newsprint, old socks, broken pencils, etc. He roamed

the streets, picking up what had been discarded by

others and taking it home and turning it into art.

In my years at Camphill Special School, I have had

the honor of living with Will (Class of 2010 and now

a student in our Transition Program). Will, like many

Beaver Run students, spent many hours doing trash

and recycling chores. What sets Will apart from other

students, however, is that he is an artist in the tradi-

tion of Kurt Schwitters. He always is on the lookout

for materials to be used in his art projects. Will finds

most of his treasures in the recycling sheds and he

specializes in three-dimensional art.

Will’s favorite medium is soda cans, especially Coca-

Cola cans (similar, in a way, to Andy Warhol’s soup

cans). Like Warhol, Will’s art also features icons like

Donald Trump, Abraham Lincoln, the Red Baron,

Michelle Obama, Prince Charming, Mahatma Gandhi,

and more.

What impressed me when I lived with Will was how

his work was continuously evolving and improving

BY GiNNY THiMME, cAmphill speciAl school fAculty

Visual art—drawings,

paintings, sculptures—

are visible everywhere

at Camphill Special

School. Children are

surrounded by beauty,

inside and outside of

their classrooms and

homes, and creative

outlets abound.

In Will’s case, the

nourishment of his

intellect in main lesson

blocks found fantastic

expression in his

recycled sculpture.

and how he would work on making one figure over

and over again until he got to a point of perfection

and/or peace. When I went to look at his artwork

recently, I found eight different versions of Michelle

Obama, the icon that he and much of America are

struggling to define right now. I also found not only

Gandhi and Lincoln, but Hamlet, Emerson, and

Thoreau, all figures that Will learned about in his

main lesson blocks with his teacher, Peggy.

I realized looking at his work that Will not only is

transforming trash into art, he also is transforming

all that he has learned here in school in his own

unique way.

tranSition prograM fillS Huge gap in ServiCeSIn 2002, recognizing a serious scarcity of program-

ming for our twelfth-grade graduates, Camphill

Special School piloted a program for college-age

students with cognitive and developmental disabil-

ities, including autism. Offering specific and individu-

alized programming in academics, life skills, and

vocational readiness, our Transition Program has

proved to be a huge success, preparing its gradu-

ates for life beyond school.

This year seventeen young people participated in

the program, learning special skills to become

contributing members of society while continuing

their academic and therapeutic work. Seven 2010

graduates successfully transitioned to appropriate

adult placements. Since the program began, 95%

of our Transition Program graduates have made

successful transitions to such places as Devereaux,

Brian’s House, Shepherd’s College, Four Winds, Taft

College, Heartbeet, High Spirits Community Farm,

and other Camphill communities in Pennsylvania,

California, Minnesota, and New York.

Most AMbitious cApitAl cAMpAign in our history Announced

Page 17: Joyful Learning

By Guy AlMA, Director of Development

Fiscal year 2009–2010 saw the announcement of the

most ambitious capital campaign Camphill Special

School ever has undertaken in its nearly fifty-year

history. The goal of Sharing Life and Learning:

A Campaign for Camphill Special School’s Transition

Program is to raise $3 million to fund the construction

of a new Student Residence and an education and

resource center at Beaver Farm. Both new buildings

will be “green” and state of the art.

Project architects Tom Carnevale and Lauren Eustis

are confident our buildings would be eligible for

a New Construction LEED v2009 (Leadership in

Energy and Environmental Design) Silver designa-

tion. Geothermal heating and cooling, high-efficiency

insulation, grey-water reuse, low-flow plumbing, and

Energy Star appliances are just a few of the reasons

our new buildings will be environmentally sensitive.

(You can see details at camphillspecialschool.org.)

The new Student Residence will be a de facto class-

room, facilitating additional development of a full

range of life skills:

• Home life skills such as cooking, cleaning, laundry,

and social skills

• Community skills such as grocery shopping and

time and money management

• Leisure skills, including community sports and

visits to concerts, theatres, and museums

• Self-care skills

Our new Education and Resource Center will provide

space for educational and therapeutic programming,

enhancing overall academic, vocational, and physical

development:

• Classroom and therapy spaces

• Pottery, candle making, textile, craft, and

honey-bottling workshops

• A cultural space for musical and dramatic

performances

• Educational commercial kitchen for food

processing and catering

line, needing $280,000 more to reach $3 million.

Learning that we had $280,000 yet to raise, an

anonymous donor in Philadelphia pledged to donate

$140,000 to the Sharing Life and Learning campaign

if we raise another $140,000. We will continue our

campaign until December 31, 2010, to achieve this

match and attain—and hopefully exceed!—our

“Camphill is not a school. It is a community. Even more

so, it is a family. Our son Joey has been brought into

that family,” Greg Ambrose shares. “It is natural for us

to do whatever we can to help.”

In May 2007 Greg and Annie Ambrose attended the

Camphill ProAm Tennis Ball for the first time. When I

met them at the event I knew they would be great com-

mittee members—and they were, for our ProAm 2008!

They became Tennis Ball Chairs in 2009 and again in

2010. Under their leadership Camphill ProAm 2010 was

the most successful in our history, raising more than

$152,000. “Over the years our friends and family have

become involved in the ProAm,” says Annie. “They love

helping Joey’s school as much as we do.”

“Camphill’s philosophy of everyone in the community

contributing to the best of their ability has really hit

home for us. Why shouldn’t parents of students live by

that philosophy, too?” Greg wonders. “Donating money

is great, but the School needs more people’s time, too.”

Recently Greg became even more deeply involved with

the School as a member of the Board of Directors and

Chair of the Board’s strategic planning committee.

For Greg and Annie volunteering always is about how

they can make a difference to the school that has

embraced their son and their family. “We simply are

paying it forward,” says Annie.

that just two short years later it would raise over $8,200

plein air at beaver farM Proclaiming that “when artists come together with

love anything is possible,” over forty renowned artists

descended on Beaver Farm to take part in the first-ever

Plein Air at Beaver Farm in August. Organized by Nancy

Bea Miller, artist and parent of tenth grader Henry, par-

ticipants garnered inspiration from the unparalleled land-

scape and farm buildings, creating one-of-a-kind works

of art that were sold at an exhibit and reception at The

Rosenfeld Gallery in Old City Philadelphia on November

3, 2009. A portion of the sales benefited the Sharing Life

and Learning capital campaign.

Page 25: Joyful Learning

Teaching barefoot while sitting on the floor is not the way faculty members of the Camphill School of Curative Education and Social Therapy typically give lectures. During Spring Break, however, Jan Goeschel and I kicked off our shoes and did just that. It might not be quite the custom in the West, but it is entirely in keeping with Thai culture. In Bangkok we lectured at Chulalongkorn University and presented a five-day workshop for teachers from Thailand and Singapore.

Nor is conversing with staff in a thatched-roof and open-sided palapa while keeping an eye on the sur-rounding jungle the usual setting for a consultation. (Is it true that a boa constrictor ate the kindergarten’s chickens?) But last February we were asked to pre-sent a workshop on the Yucatán in Mexico.

New England. As I write this, we anticipate teaching

courses in Mexico, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and New

Hampshire over the summer. The vibrancy and expertise of our faculty is gaining an international reputation. And here at home in Glenmoore, Penn-sylvania, because our courses are recommended for college credit by the National Program on Noncol-legiate Sponsored Instruction (PONSI) of the Board of Regents, University of the State of New York, co-worker retention has improved greatly. This year four students completed the fourth year of our program and three more earned their B.A. in education with a fifth year of distance learning.

No matter how far and wide our travels take us we always arrive at the same destination: a growing global community that seeks to guide and foster growth in children out of the insights of anthroposophy.

At home in Glenmoore, PA, four students completed the fourth year of our School of Ce & ST program and three more earned their B.A. in education with a fifth year of distance learning.

Becky rutherford, School of Ce & ST faculty member, offers a consultation in Thailand.

Donors who have made gifts to our Annual Village Fund, special events, or capital campaign between July 1, 2009, and June 30, 2010, are listed according to their cumulative fiscal year giving.

In 2009–2010 Camphill Special School was awarded a full seven-year term of accreditation by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools Commissions on Elementary and Secondary Schools. As the only Waldorf school in North America for children and youth with special needs, our School also earned the same term of full accreditation from The Association of Waldorf Schools of North America.

Members of both accreditation teams met with and interviewed representatives of all the School’s stakeholders, including teachers, students, parents, and administrators, as well as represen-tatives of the Board of Directors. Team members also toured the School’s facilities, studied the School’s plan for school improvement and other

documents related to the School’s work, and observed teaching and learning in classrooms.

To be accredited, a school must meet standards in each major area of its work and activity. These areas include the school’s philosophy, mission, objectives, governance and leadership, organi-zational design and staff, educational programs, learning media services and technology, student services, student life and activities, facilities, health and safety, finances, assessment of student learning, and strategic planning.

Camphill Special School also is licensed by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania as an Approved Private School.

My BrotherBY HENRY SWAiN

My brother is so very fun when we all go swimming

Swimming, splashing, playing.

Other times it can be hard to live with him. He does not sleep well and he makes a great big mess.

He has moved from school to school, looking for a perfect match.

He found one called Beaver Run where others were like him

And he liked it a lot with a hand and a heart.He gave us all his love. We all felt it in one special part.

He did well, and worked all day in the barn,

Where horses, goats and chickens were abundant.

From time to time he would come home for a week,

And we were all exhausted.

But he was fine, and that was good, until he finally graduated.

We could not keep him at home forever,

But there was no place for him to go.

My parents and others had come together

We close our annual report with a thoughtful and sensitive piece by

Henry Swain, the eleven-year-old brother of Robert “Bar” Swain. Bar

attended Camphill Special School for nine years and is a graduate

of our Transition Program. His parents, Bob and Ginny Swain,

have established High Spirit Community Farm in Great Barrington,

Massachusetts, as a life-sharing community for Bar and other adults

with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Bar also has a

younger sister, Molly, a student at Boston University.

To create a place for him, and friends,Who had no place to go.

He now works all day with a big green wheelbarrow.

He has worked so very hard to live

With a life and body like his

And I praise him now

And I hope he has a very long time to live.

He is like the sun at times—happy and bright as can be

And when he is not, that is OK with me.

He values most women, and pushes away the men.

When he hears the name Caroline, or Marsie, he shouts and smiles with glee.

His feet may be small, and his hair a big mess

But when it comes to him, I just smile and say,

That he is my brother and I love him lots,

For the things he has done and the things he has not.
