ANNUAL REPORT 2009–2010

JoyFUL
LEARNING
BY 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 developmental
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. ADAMS
Dear 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 preserving
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 continually
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
begins in our
kindergarten
PHOTOGRAPHY BY Annika Duesberg
Our kindergarten is “inclusive”: it includes both typically
developing youngsters, such as the children
of staff members or siblings of our older students,
and young children with special needs. In a homelike
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 essential
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.

ExplorerS
BY Elizabeth, 7th Grader
From what I’ve learned so far about the Vikings from
Scandinavia was that they were the very first explorers.
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, Yesterday I went on a field trip to Philadelphia for

last but not least was the gift shop.
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.

Because Camphill Special School is a Waldorf school, fully accredited by the Association
of Waldorf Schools of North America, we believe that a child’s inner need for security
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.
EigHth Grade Graduation
A Poignant Rite of pas sage
By Florie Seery, 8TH GRADER AlAsdair’s Mother / Photography By AlAsdAir’s Father, Marc Bryan-BRown
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 recording
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 graduation
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 Trash
By Ginny Thimme, Camphill Special School Faculty
Whilst studying the History of Art many years
ago, I was fascinated by the work of Kurt Schwitters.
Schwitters was part of the modern art movement
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 tradition
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.
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.
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.
Michelle Obama, Mahatma Gandhi, and Abraham Lincoln all are figures Will has
studied in his main lesson blocks.
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

Transition
Program fills
huge gap in
services
In 2002, recognizing a serious scarcity of programming
for our twelfth-grade graduates, Camphill
Special School piloted a program for college-age
students with cognitive and developmental disabilities,
including autism. Offering specific and individualized
programming in academics, life skills, and
vocational readiness, our Transition Program has
proved to be a huge success, preparing its graduates
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.

Progress through June 30, 2010
As of June 30, 2010, we were approaching the finish
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
$3 million goal.

Greg & Annie
Ambrose ‘Pay it
Forward’
By Courtney Coffman, Development Officer
Over 300 people filled the historic Sunnybrook Ballroom at this
year’s ProAm Tennis Ball.
“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 committee
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.”
Greg and Annie Ambrose with their children, Becky and Joey.
Greg and Annie chaired this year’s record-setting ProAm Tennis
Ball that raised over $152,000 for Camphill Special School.
“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.

garnered inspiration from the unparalleled landscape
and farm buildings, creating one-of-a-kind works

Fostering growth
in children
around the globe
By Becky Rutherford, Teacher and School of Curative Education And Social Therapy Faculty Member
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 surrounding
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 present
a workshop on the Yucatán in Mexico.
Closer to home we offered workshops at anthroposophical
life-sharing communities in Québec and in

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, Pennsylvania,
because our courses are recommended for
college credit by the National Program on Noncollegiate
Sponsored Instruction (PONSI) of the Board
of Regents, University of the State of New York, coworker
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.
The Camphill School
of Curative Education
and Social Therapy
is a community of
learning rooted in the
work of the Camphill
Movement. It offers
practice-integrated
programs of studies
leading to professional
qualifications in
Curative Education,
Youth Guidance, and
Social Therapy as
holistic approaches to
supporting children,
adolescents, and
adults with intellectual,

Our School Awarded
two full accreditations
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 representatives
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, organizational
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.

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.
My Brother
By 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
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.
