ANNUAL REPORT 2010–2011 

ic Year

A Dramatic YEAR 

BY CAROL GOETZ, Associate Director of Development & Annual Report Editor 

I remember clearly the first 

theatrical production I attended 

at Camphill Special School seven 

years ago. I was new to the school 

and had much to learn. I recall 

feeling so surprised that the children 

performing before me, the 

children “with special needs” that 

I didn’t know very well yet, could 

do such a fantastic job. 

I’ve learned a lot since then. 

I no longer am astounded when our students 

produce Shakespearean theatre, puppet shows, 

or musicals. I no longer am astonished at 

concerts and piano recitals. I now know that 

much is expected of our students and that 

much is achieved by them. I now understand 

how talented our students are, and I know and 

care for so many of them that my heart is full 

when they leave us. 

You, our many friends reading this Annual 

Report, provide us with much drama as well! 

You support us, you attend our events, and 

you make everything that happens here possible, 

whether it is eighth graders producing 

The Merchant of Venice or the completion of 

a $3 million dollar capital campaign and the 

construction of two fabulous new buildings at 

Beaver Farm. 

As you read on I hope you will feel enveloped 

with warm appreciation and an overwhelming 

sense of pride that you are a fundamental member 

of the Camphill Special School community. 

Thank you.

Children 

with special needs 

are blessed. 

Their hearts grow every day 

larger, softer. 

There is no armor, 

no shell hard enough 

but it cracks 

and in comes the painful sun. 

There is no forgetful cave of sleep for them, 

no loud gestures from mountaintops, 

no scaling trees, no surety but 

a growing, steady wakefulness, 

an attention to simple leaves 

and how they gently hold the morning light: 

holding 

and not breaking.

A Message From 

Warren R. 

Gleicher 

President, 

Board of Directors 

Warren will continue to serve on our Board 

of Directors. Max now is a member of the 

Heartbeet community, a Camphill initiative 

in Hardwick, Vermont. 

Dear Friends of Camphill Special School, 

The past year truly has been a 

dramatic one, not only for Camphill 

Special School and its students, 

but as the parent of a graduating 

Camphill Special School senior, for 

me personally, too. 

It is not every year that our School can 

say that it has erected a new building. In 

fiscal year 2011, however, Camphill Special 

School opened TWO new buildings! Silver 

Maple, a student residence, and the Sarah 

Jane Herman Education and Resource 

Center are fantastic new additions created 

to better serve our Transition Program students 

at Beaver Farm. These new buildings 

were made possible only by the successful 

conclusion of our Sharing Life and Learning 

capital campaign. 

How did all this happen People like 

you, reading this annual report, made it 

happen. Amidst a tumbling economy and 

worries about the future, Camphill Special 

School’s hundreds of friends cast votes of 

confidence in our community and our students 

by contributing and pledging nearly 

$3.1 million to our campaign. 

Thank you. 

In my own family, it has been a dramatic 

year as well. In June my wife Amy and 

I, together with our sons Jonathan and 

Adam, watched our son Max graduate from 

Camphill Special School’s twelfth grade. 

Max was only six years old when he came 

to live at “Beaver Run.” It was a leap of faith 

for which there are no words. We simply 

wanted a better life for Max than we could 

provide for him at home. 

Twelve years later what we believed to 

be impossible had happened: Max had become 

a vital and valued member of a community 

and had been given opportunities 

that we never dreamed of. His education 

sensitively addressed his needs for twelve 

years, and his life has been richer than we 

ever imagined it could be. 

In a very concrete way, my family’s narrative 

is representative of so many other 

stories. Through the years you, our friend 

and supporter, have made Max’s life possible, 

as well as the lives of so many other 

children. 

Thank you. 

Of course, part of our annual report’s 

theme is that true drama is part of every 

Max and Warren following Max’s performance in 

his senior play, Damn Yankees. 

year at Camphill Special School! I know you 

will enjoy reading about this very important 

part of our children’s curriculums and lives 

throughout our Annual Report. 

It has been an honor and a privilege to 

be President of Camphill Special School’s 

Board of Directors in 2010–2011. I look 

forward to sharing the future of this extraordinary 

school and community with you.

Theatre arts are 

sound pedagogy, 

therapeutic, and fun 

By Becky Rutherford, Beaver 

Run Teacher and Member of the 

School of Curative Education & 

Social Therapy Faculty 

Fourteen major productions in 

one year is an ambitious schedule 

for the most seasoned of theatre 

companies. Yet when the dramas, 

comedies, musicals, pageants, 

and puppet shows staged in our 

2010 – 2011 school year are 

counted, Camphill Special School 

coworkers, staff, and students 

accomplished that and more! 

The school year began with an allcommunity 

outdoor Michaelmas 

pageant. Soon afterwards sophomores 

began rehearsals to present one of three 

traditional medieval dramas always 

presented during the Christmas season. 

Before vacation the junior class also 

presented A Canterbury Christmas, 

another medieval tale, complete with 

a boar’s head on a silver platter! 

In mid-winter we were refreshed during 

our Mardi Gras celebration by a hilarious 

7

(L-R) Robin Kaip and John Pelletier 

in The Appointment.

Haley was an awfully cute pirate in our Mardi Gras 

production of Peter Pan. 

Our school year began with an outdoor 

Michaelmas pageant. 

The senior class hit it out of the park with their 

presentation of Damn Yankees. 

Elizabeth gave a stellar performance as Antonio 

in the eighth grade rendition of The Merchant 

of Venice. 

Even in their wild costumes, Ariel and Willie didn’t 

frighten anyone in Peter Pan! 

production of Peter Pan. The senior musical 

Damn Yankees, complete with singing 

and dancing, delighted audiences, and 

a community pageant unfolded before 

Easter as everyone took turns as actors 

or audience members. 

Before we said good-bye for the summer, 

the eighth graders offered Shakespeare’s 

Merchant of Venice and fourth graders presented 

the rousing tale of Thor’s Hammer. 

No one will forget those fearsome giants! 

Theatre is part of community life in other 

forms, too. Parents and volunteers sew 

costumes, assist in building sets and 

props, and help with all sorts of lastminute 

tasks. In our School of Curative 

Education and Social Therapy, a professional 

training course preparing curative 

educators of the future, Tina Bruckner 

guides students in the creation, design, 

production, and presentation of an annual 

puppet show and Norma Lindenberg 

directs them in a major production each 

year. Robin Kaip, houseparent in Antanor 

and our land crew leader, has made a tradition 

of writing and producing an original 

work each year. 

All these performances reflect what we 

know to be sound pedagogy, especially for 

children with special needs. Our teachers 

continually seek ways to engage students, 

and history, literature—and even math!— 

can become more accessible through 

theatre arts. Movement and memory skills, 

language arts, focusing, following directions, 

and the retention and integration 

of content all can be addressed through 

drama, whether in carefully planned 

productions or spontaneous classroom 

moments. 

Beyond strictly educational applications, 

we know that the use of drama can 

address deeper issues. It is a sad reality 

that society can lock people with special 

needs into limited identities, and children 

often are described solely in terms of 

their relationships with a disability. This 

is the opposite of the holistic approach 

at Camphill Special School. Participation 

in theatre offers children opportunities 

to discover, explore, and develop many 

aspects of their personalities that are 

unrelated to special needs. 

As Hamlet tells us, “The play’s the thing!” 

Drama essential 

for “seminarists,” 

too 

By Robin Kaip, “seminarist,” 

coworker, house father, and 

playwright 

It has become a tradition, for me 

at least, to write and produce 

a play for our community each 

year. I don’t remember how it got 

started, but I know it’s going to 

happen again next year! 

This year it was my pleasure and 

honor to work with six wonderful 

coworkers on the production of The 

Appointment, my play about seven 

quirky individuals who find themselves 

in a doctor’s waiting room 

expecting to see the physician. 

As it turns out, they all have died and 

need to resolve something from their 

past life before they can “move on.” 

Fortunately, one of the characters is 

clairvoyant and may be able to point 

them in the right direction. 

It always amazes me how we, as 

seminarists and coworkers at Camphill 

Special School, manage to find 

the time and space in our busy lives 

to create theatre. Because there is 

so much else that must be done, this 

almost feels like an impossible “extra” 

that we are trying to accomplish. But 

somehow when it does happen, it is 

the most rejuvenating and rewarding 

experience. It gives us the fuel to 

continue doing what we are doing. 

It is an outlet as well as a source of 

energy, especially if it touches people 

and gives them something to take 

home and think about. 

Editor’s note: Robin has been a 

member of the Camphill Special 

School community since 2006. 

He is from Munich, Germany.

Most ambitious 

capital campaign 

in our history 

SUCCESSFUL 

By Guy Alma, 

Director of 

Development 

No one can say that undertaking the 

largest capital campaign in the history 

of Camphill Special School during an 

economic downturn, riding a roller 

coaster of anxiety and gratitude as we 

asked old and new friends to support 

our biggest building project ever, and 

living through the eventual construction 

of two fantastic new buildings 

at Beaver Farm was anything but 

dramatic! 

Last year I announced our Sharing Life 

and Learning campaign to build a new 

student residence and an education and 

resource center at Beaver Farm, home of 

our Transition Program for eighteen- to 

twenty-one-year-old students. 

This year I am ecstatic to announce the 

successful completion of that campaign. 

Our entire school community extends 

its genuine, heartfelt appreciation to the 

nearly 600 individuals, corporations, and 

foundations that contributed and pledged 

nearly $3.1 million in support of our need 

to expand and enhance our Transition 

Program. 

Thank you. 

Last year I wrote that an anonymous 

foundation challenged us to reach the finish 

line by promising a 100 percent match 

if we could raise $140,000 more. 

This year I can tell you that our many 

friends answered that challenge, contributed 

the $140,000 we needed, and we 

received the fantastic $140,000 grant to 

complete our campaign. 

Last year I shared with you several 

architectural renderings of our new buildings 

and a photograph of an excavator 

and a huge hole in the ground. 

This year I am elated to share photographs 

of beautiful and functional new 

Rob Williams, a woodworker in Hudson, NY, and 

the son of Special Education IEP Program Coordinator 

Sandy Williams and her husband Robert, 

created the beautiful new sign at Beaver Farm.

Friends of the Sharing 

Life and Learning Campaign 

Students in our Transition Program created 

colorful tiles for the backsplashes in the 

residence and education center kitchens. 

Pledges, gifts, and bequests from the following individuals, foundations, and corporations 

made possible the construction and furnishing of Silver Maple and The Sarah Jane 

Herman Education and Resource Center. Thank you all from the bottoms of our hearts.

buildings with you, buildings that are 

making a difference in the lives of our 

Transition Program students every day. 

After holding our RED Barn Ball at 

Beaver Farm on June 3 (see page 18) we 

were thrilled to move into our new student 

residence, Silver Maple. There were times, 

I confess, when I thought we never would 

make that move. There was so much rain 

and mud last summer! I knew we would 

finish, however, when we had our “topping 

off” ceremony in December. 

Over the summer we also moved furniture 

and equipment into The Sarah Jane 

Herman Education and Resource Center, 

named in memory and honor of Sarah 

Jane Herman by the Camphill Foundation. 

Sarah Jane was a student at our 

school thirty years ago and, sadly, died as 

a young adult. Her parents, Bill and Betsy 

Herman, have supported our School 

and the Camphill Foundation in the years 

since then. The Center includes beautiful 

new classroom and therapy rooms; a

Derivatives of Drama: 

2011 RED BARN BALL 

and ProAm Tennis 

Tournament 

By Courtney Coffman, 

Events and Volunteer Manager 

Drama is derived from the Greek word 

for “to do.” Well, we could not have 

had bigger or better “to dos” than this 

year’s RED Barn Ball and ProAm Tennis 

Tournament! 

An astonishing 375 people gathered at 

Beaver Farm on June 3rd to dine, dance, 

and bid under the big white tent. Thanks 

to the diligent efforts of our effervescent 

Steering Committee—led by parents Amy 

and Bob McHugh—and numerous other 

volunteers, including emcee and auctioneer 

Robin Young of NPR, the evening was 

a huge success, garnering over $144,000 

to benefit students at Camphill. 

The following day featured an exhibition 

match between ProAm founder Anthony 

DeCecco and Camphill house parent 

and teacher Andreas Schuschke. In what 

could only be described as a theatrical 

display of sportsmanship, Anthony edged 

out Andreas to take the win. Anthony 

also staged the ProAm’s first-ever tennis 

clinic for children of all ages and abilities. 

Of course, the ProAm Tennis Tournament 

had its share of drama when for the second 

year the championship match came 

down to a tie-breaker.

Plein Air 

for Camphill 

Collaboration and 

Cooperation: The Camphill 

Challenge bike event 

20 

For the second year Plein Air for Camphill attracted over fifty 

talented artists to Beaver Run and Beaver Farm. There they 

created art inspired by the dramatic landscapes, vivid blue 

sky, distinctive architecture, and active livestock. The pieces 

created were displayed and sold at the highly respected 

Rosenfeld Gallery in Philadelphia, with a portion of the proceeds 

benefiting our Sharing Life and Learning campaign 

for Beaver Farm. The gallery exhibition and reception on 

October 5, 2010, buzzed as family and friends of Camphill 

Special School raised nearly $11,000 for the campaign.

In the true spirit of Camphill, the three 

Chester County Camphill communities 

joined to host the fourth annual Camphill 

Challenge on October 17, 2010. It was a 

perfect autumn day that attracted nearly 

300 bicyclists to ride. The camaraderie 

was palpable as supporters of Camphill 

Special School, Camphill Village Kimberton 

Hills, and Camphill Soltane joined 

together to pedal five, ten, thirty-five, 

or fifty mile routes through the rolling 

hillsides and superb autumn foliage. 

Together the communities raised nearly 

$30,000, with over $11,000 benefiting 

Camphill Special School.

Preparing Curative 

Educators is education 

for life 

By Becky Rutherford, Beaver 

Run Teacher and Member of the 

School of Curative Education & 

Social Therapy Faculty 

Young volunteers come from all over 

the world to be part of our Camphill 

Special School community. Those who 

are accepted into The Camphill School 

of Curative Education and Social 

Therapy enter a rigorous five-year 

professional certification program that 

can lead to a Bachelor of Arts degree. 

During these busy years the “seminarists” 

are involved in every aspect of Camphill 

life, developing skills and confidence. Parallel 

to this learning-through-life path, the 

program offers a four-year college-level, 

comprehensive curriculum in holistic special 

education. This unique approach integrates 

academics, art, and experience. 

An ongoing expectation for self-reflection 

also threads throughout all the courses. 

This can be the most challenging learning 

path of all. It is a hands-on, hearts-on, 

heads-on education! 

During the third year of study, a student 

teaching practicum provides a seminal 

experience. Working under the mentorship 

of a class teacher, the seminarist 

must prepare and teach a two-week 

main lesson block. This is a time for the 

seminarist to draw on resources acquired 

from life and learning, integrating practical 

skills and academic content. This typically 

results in a wonderful experience for the 

children, too, as the novelty of a new 

teacher and fresh ideas and activities 

makes for a very lively two weeks! The 

student teacher often initially records anxiety 

and self-doubt in his or her journal, 

but by the end of the practicum exuberance 

and joyful enthusiasm is evident. 

Just who is teaching whom here 

Many of our recent graduates have 

assumed highly responsible roles in 

our Camphill Special School community. 

Most complete a bachelor’s degree. 

Some go to other Camphill communities, 

or perhaps find other destinies altogether. 

But all of those who have participated, 

even for just one year, consider it a lifechanging 

experience and an education 

that endures for life.

The 2010–2011 year was a dramatic 

one in Camphill Special School’s 

development office as well: 

• 1,000+ donors made contributions to 

our Annual Village Fund 

• Annual Village Fund goal (for general

Eric Hoffer wrote that “the hardest arithmetic 

to master is that which enables 

us to count our blessings.” At Camphill 

Special School we believe we have mastered 

that arithmetic. We count each and 

every one of the following individuals, 

foundations, and corporations as a great 

blessing to our School. Thank you. 

Friends who made contributions of 

$25 or more, between July 1, 2010, and 

June 30, 2011, to our Annual Village Fund, 

special events, or our capital campaign 

are listed according to their cumulative 

fiscal year giving. Donors who made 

only honorarium or memorial gifts to the 

Annual Village Fund are listed in those 

categories alone. Friends who made 

gifts or pledges to the Sharing Life and 

Learning capital campaign also are listed 

separately on pages 13–15. 

It is our intention to honor and appreciate 

those who make life at Camphill Special 

School possible. While we have strived for 

accuracy, we occasionally make mistakes. 

Please call the Development Office at 

610.469.9236 x131 to correct errors, 

omissions, or misspellings.
