“ Appel Farm has this unique space of no judgment, joyful creation and true empowerment that I have not found in many other places. I am very grateful my daughter gets to be part of this every summer. She keeps the sense of those weeks with her the rest of her year and it gives her freedom to…be.” Katerina Wallentin, camp parent

“ The students’ self-confidence has grown immensely through Appel Farm’s residency program. In the beginning, they were timid, and when they weren’t sure about something they became very defensive. But I saw the walls breaking down as they allowed themselves to experiment and explore. The pride at the end was just phenomenal. I loved being part of it and seeing the growth in the kids.” Caroline Cornelius Teacher, Bridgeton Public School

“ The thing that is going to stay with me is that I got to make new friends. I don’t hang out much, mostly because I’m shy. Now I have the whole Appel Farm Pathways program as friends.” Jennifer Ramons, 4th grade student

“ I love Appel Farm — it’s a great place to find out who you really are, and how great you can be.” Ariana Corsey, camper

RAISING THE BAR OF

ARTS EDUCATION IN SOUTHERN NEW JERSEY

Highlights of the YearSchool Programs: This year, Appel Farm delivered 500+ hours of arts education in 11 schools allowing over a thousand young people and teachers access to impactful fine and performing arts instruction. Also specializing in professional development for teachers, Appel Farm’s expert staff partnered with teachers, administrators and teaching artists to further the arts integration movement.

Summer Camp: Since 1960, Appel Farm Arts Camp has welcomed 21,358 children from all over the world, with another 358 campers attending this summer. Purposefully creating a diverse community has always been a core value of the program, and it continued this summer with 171 campers receiving over $750,000 worth of scholarship and tuition assistance.

Social Service: Appel Farm served 250 underprivileged families and at-risk youth in partnership with regional social service agencies to enhance wellness through the arts.

Arts Retreats: Leadership Camps for Girls, Mothers and Daughters, and Family Arts Retreats brought almost 1,000 children and families to Appel Farm for arts enrichment programs with intentional opportunities to connect and develop 21st century skills. 268 Girl Scouts from 37 Troops earned Daisy, Junior, and Cadette Journey Awards and 8 Arts Badges at Appel Farm.

Festivals: Our Teen Arts Festival, Music & Wine Festival, and Earth Day Festival served over 3,500 community members. This year, 627 Students from 12 Schools participated in the Salem and Gloucester County Teen Arts Festival hosted by Appel Farm.

After School Arts: For the past three years, over 336 children have explored the arts through our Arts Lab after school arts program. This year, 97 more children learned to express themselves, make friends, and value the arts alongside professional teaching artists of puppet theatre, painting, ceramics, yoga, character creation, mask making, multi-media crafts, dance and movement.
