2018 Annual Report

Im agin e t h e p o s s i b il it ies

Dear Friends,

The Woodlands celebrated two milestones in 2018, both significant and

impactful: the 20th anniversary of The Woodlands as a free-standing

organization, and the passing of The Woodlands’ founder, Dr. Donald H. Reigel.

It is my hope that this report captures both the growth of The Woodlands and

the tremendous influence Dr. Reigel had throughout.

The Woodlands’ campus has changed dramatically since its establishment

in 1937 as a summer camp for underserved youth of Western Pennsylvania.

The metamorphosis began in 1985, under the vision of Dr. Reigel, when the

Spina Bifida Association of Western Pennsylvania (SBAWP) leased the property

as a location for summer programs for children with spina bifida. During the

next 14 years, two capital campaigns raised more than $4.7 million resulting

in a dramatic expansion in administration and programming and numerous

capital improvements that transformed the campus into a state-of-the-art, fully

accessible facility.

The SBAWP formally established The Woodlands Foundation as a 501(c)(3)

nonprofit organization in 1998 to assume full responsibility for managing the

campus and expanding the reach beyond those with spina bifida to children,

young adults, and adults with numerous disabilities and chronic illness. In 2006,

The Woodlands acquired ownership of the property ensuring the continued use

and development of this regional resource.

Today, The Woodlands’ serves thousands of participants annually in either

residential or non-residential programs and partners with agencies and

organizations to host camps, retreats and other programming. Guided by Dr.

Reigel’s emphasis on service, a committed Board of Directors and a strategic

plan to enhance and expand program offerings and the use of our campus, The

Woodlands is driven by our mission to enrich the lives of those we serve and

grateful to the many individuals, corporations and foundations that have helped

us along the way.

Sincerely,

Joseph R. Milharcic

Executive Director

Letterfrom theexecutivedirector

When I observe our participants, I am always left with a special sense of community that exists between themselves and with our staff—a culture of belonging,

accepting, growing, and caring in part because of what they experience at The Woodlands.

IN LOVING MEMORY of The

Woodlands’ founder, Dr. Donald

H. Reigel, renowned pediatric

neurosurgeon, innovator, guiding

force, and tireless

advocate for children.

The vision Dr. Reigel

created along with his

wife, Gay, to enrich the

lives of children and

adults with disability

and chronic illness has

impacted thousands of

individuals and their

families. With heavy

hearts, The Woodlands will carry on

Dr. Reigel’s legacy in his memory.

A C o m p a s s i o n at e L e a d e rDr. Reigel was Founder and

Chairman Emeritus of The Woodlands

Foundation. Widely recognized by his

pediatric neurosurgical colleagues

throughout North America for his

interest in research and academic

excellence, Dr. Reigel published 125

scientific articles and contributed to

the contents of over 20 textbooks. In

1976, he organized and hosted the

founding meeting of the American

Society of Pediatric Neurosurgery.

Since that time, Dr. Reigel served in all

of the Society’s offices, including the

Presidency. Dr. Reigel was a founding

member of the American Board of

Pediatric Neurological Surgery and

served as Chairman of the Board when

its first 100 certificates were awarded.

He also served in a leadership

capacity for the International Society

of Pediatric Neurosurgery and chaired

the Pediatric Section of the American

Association of Neurological Surgeons.

Dr. Reigel’s outstanding reputation

as a pediatric neurosurgeon brought

“added value” to his personal

commitment to ensure that his

thousands of patients lived a full life in

their community.

A History of Advocacy1 9 3 7 - 2 0 1 8

The Woodlands is where children and adults with disability

and chronic illness find the freedom and empowerment to

experience programs that enrich lives. Fully accessible and

barrier-free facilities open new doors to safe, inclusive and

engaging participant opportunities. Our staff is committed

to facilitating social, cultural, environmental, recreational

and spiritual growth through hands-on experiences.

THE NOTES FROM THE HEART MUSIC PROGRAM started in

1999 when a group of musical

artists and music lovers in the

Pittsburgh area came together with a

desire to create a summer program

that would bring the joy of music to

children and adults with disabilities

and chronic illness. After a series of

special musical presentations and

a pilot music retreat, the need for a

dedicated program was apparent.

Today, Notes from the Heart offers

a year-round program to include

two week-long residential summer

camps and a full music ensemble held

throughout the academic year. The

music program offers a wide variety of

activities and programs that range from

music appreciation, theory, composition,

singing, and instrument playing under

the guidance of internationally and

locally known musicians, artists,

conductors and educators.

FINDING A HOMEEstablished in 1937 as a camp for underprivileged and orphaned youth run by Father Lawrence A. O’Connell, a Catholic priest of St. Mary’s Seminary in Baltimore City.

1944

PASSING ALONG THE SPIRITIn 1944, Father O’Connell offers the property to the Variety the Children’s Charity, who becomes owner and shepherd of the property, continuing the mission.

1983

LEGACY OF OPEN DOORSIn 1983, The Spina Bifida Association of Western Pennsylvania (SBAWP) runs a two-week pilot camp for children with spina bifida.

Developed in partnership with

Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh

of UPMC (CHP), Camp Inspire

is one of the few camps in the United

States that is specifically designed for

children and teens who are ventilator-

dependent. The Camp provides a

6-day, 5-night residential experience

that will inspire memories and learning

for a lifetime. Camp Inspire is a place

where youth with tracheostomies,

ventilators, and BiPAP machines

can be themselves with all barriers

removed – and just be a kid! In

addition to having a memorable week-

long adventure packed with joy, this

social experience provides campers

with the chance to interact with other

children with similar situations.

THE BLOOM PROGRAM

Transitional life skills programs

for adolescents function as a

bridge between school programs

and the opportunities of adult life. In

partnership with Children’s Hospital

of Pittsburgh of UPMC, the Building

Lifestyles for Ongoing Opportunities

& Movement Program (BLOOM) was

conceptualized in 2014 as a reverse

inclusion program for adolescents

with and without disabilities between

the ages 13-21. Adolescents with

disabilities are paired with a typically

developing peer to share in activities

that focus on hands-on, inclusive

and collaborative experiences.

The program includes a one-week

residential summer camp and bi-

weekly sessions during the academic

year that are centered on post-

school outcomes in the areas of

leadership, empowerment, teamwork,

independence and health and

wellness. BLOOM empowers teens

to take on life outside of school while

building social and emotional skills

that will be beneficial in all aspects of

their lives.

THE WOODLANDSEnergized by the camp experience, SBAWP leases the land for summer and developmental programs starting in 1985. Shortly thereafter, the property’s name is changed to The Woodlands.

IT TAKES A VILLAGEA series of capital development projects, primarily funded by charitable dollars, help establish The Woodlands as a premier facility designed to help children and adults learn and improve life skills through social, recreation, spiritual and environmental enrichment.

1995

ALL ARE WELCOMESBAWP conducts a strategic planning process in 1995, which establishes the goal of opening the property to all people with disability and chronic illness.

Through collaborative relationships

with numerous colleges and

universities, The Woodlands

has become a referral source and a

training ground for students in health,

education, or human service fields of

study. Over the course of 2018, 89

seasonal staff positions were filled from

27 different colleges and universities

for the positions of counselors, unit

coordinators, life skills and recreation

activity instructors, and healthcare

associates for either 8-10 weeks in

the summer (during which staff are

in residence at The Woodlands), or

for weekend retreats and special

programming held throughout the

academic year. The Woodlands has

proved to be the perfect environment

to supplement academic and

theoretical experience as program

staff positions offer hands-on exposure

to a multitude of disabilities; provide

students with opportunities for

internships; practical job experience;

and service learning.

In order to prepare the summer

program staff, The Woodlands

developed Camp Academy, an

intensive, one-week training course

that occurs the week prior to the start

of summer programming. During Camp

Academy, professionals including

physical therapists, registered nurses

and behavior specialists conduct

workshops specific to their areas of

expertise so that trainees can learn

techniques and strategies that will

ensure the optimal care and safety of

those we serve.

Hands-on Experience

1998

DEFINING MOMENTSThe independent nonprofit Woodlands Foundation, Inc. is formed in 1998, carrying over the management, marketing and maintenance of the property. SBAWP then became a provider of direct service to families and individuals with spina bifida.

assistance with maintenance needs

such as raking leaves, painting,

cleaning, and landscaping while

providing corporations and groups

The benefits are many: in addition to

providing in-kind labor, the Program

offers the opportunity for The

Woodlands to showcase our facility to

those who live and work in the greater

community.

WOODLANDS PURCHASES ADDITIONAL PROPERTYWith private funding, The Woodlands purchases 21.6 acres adjacent to the flagship campus bringing the total campus size to 52 acres. Future development includes the reconstitution of a breached pond to offer fishing and boating to program offerings.

The Woodlands timeline

The Woodlands’ adapted par-

3 golf course, designed by

nationally known golf course

architect Dominic Palombo, ASLA,

is specifically configured to provide

individuals with disabilities the

opportunity to learn, play, and

appreciate the game of golf. The

only facility of its kind in the region,

this 9-hole course offers a unique

experience for individuals learning the

game of golf or returning to the game

after a setback from injury or illness.

In addition to offering Woodlands’

participants the opportunity to

discover the game of golf, The

Woodlands proudly continues its

partnership with the Professional

Golfers’ Association of America’s

Helping Our Patriots Everywhere

(HOPE) program. PGA’s HOPE

program provides golf as a therapeutic

rehabilitation tool for military veterans.

The program is designed to enhance

rehabilitation, both physically and

socially. PGA professional instructors,

working with participants on a 5-1 ratio,

provide instruction on adaptive golf

techniques and fundamentals utilizing

The Woodlands’ golf course and

specialized equipment.

Every year since I was eight years old, I have come to the Notes from the Heart camp with the ambition of doing something meaningful.

One year, I got to emcee the final concert alongside conductor and teacher Edward

Cumming. Another year, I performed songs that I co-wrote with conductor Lucas Richman, also a teacher. I think this is one of the best music

programs anywhere. Great things happen here.

I think the best part of the experience for our son, Patrick, is the confidence he gained from being away from

home, first for a day, then a weekend and finally a full week. The staff at The Woodlands were able to quickly get to know him as an individual and understand what worked

and what didn’t in terms of his involvement in activities. Some he tried, others he didn’t, but he developed his own

identity and sense of self. At the end of the day, that is really all we would want for any of our kids!
