Annual Report 2016/17

There are 365 days in a year. That’s 365 days to grow together or independently, to experience new places and skills, and to evolve at Camphill Village — a place where we live a dynamic and varied life that is shaped by the steady rhythm of the seasons, and where some have lived for decades.

We want to show you, our donors, where your generosity exists in numbers.

You may already be aware that the state provides for bear necessities here.

But it’s your contributions to the annual fund that truly enhance our lives.

Thanks to you, we are master weavers and woodworkers, whose work will be enjoyed by families for generations. We are farmers and gardeners, who can bring home the same vegetables and meats that we raised, and see our friends prepare them at mealtime, so we can enjoy them together.

Aaron Burstein, who does not speak, spends hundreds of afternoons each year working one-on-one with a residential volunteer on his felting projects.

He expresses himself through fiber arts. This is through your generosity.

Danny Miller fills tote bags with bread from the Village Bakery, and delivers them on his bicycle to each home in the Village – as he has done for years.

And because of you, Suzie Taube takes great pride in letting visitors know that it’s her job to close up the chickens at night.

These aren’t outliers. Every single life at Camphill Village has felt the tremendous impact of your generosity. And while that impact is clear to those who are here with us each day, we will try to convey these outcomes in numbers throughout this annual report.

Friends and colleagues, Camphill Village continues to be the ideal model – some say a utopia – for individuals with disabilities and for the hundreds of families impacted by our unusual and special organization.

It has been with great pleasure that I’ve led the Camphill Village Board of Directors as president, and I thank our donors and this lifesharing community for providing me and my colleagues with an endless source of inspiration to commit our time and our hearts to Camphill Village.

I want to thank you all for your commitment.

You have forever changed the lives of the people who call Camphill Village home. The monumental impact of your generosity throughout my time on this board is nothing short of inspiring. It ignites us, and we strive constantly to develop new programing, a new standard of health for individuals with disabilities, and a cheerful, supportive extended family environment for those who live here. We thank you.

I am honored to announce that Gabriella Sperry, who has been a member of our

board since 2012, will lead our board of directors into Camphill’s future. Gabriella, who is also a member of the Camphill Ghent Board of Directors, served for 20 years on the Board of the International Center in New York, which teaches conversational English and American culture to immigrants.

She also served on the board of the Doane Stuart School in Albany for 10 years.

Gabriella also steps into the position at a very exciting time for our organization.

We recently developed a three-year strategic plan that will guide our efforts to improve the overall quality and operations of Camphill Village. Because of Gabriella’s history of commitment to charitable organizations, as well as the stellar membership across our board, I am positive that the leadership of our organization is in good hands. I will continue to participate as a member of the board, so I look forward to seeing you all in the very near future.

We have a powerful vision for the future of this organization, though there is still much uncertainty on the state level, as far as policy and funding are concerned.

Because of this uncertainty surrounding our state funding (which comprises almost half of our operating budget), the health of our annual fund is more important now than it has ever been. At the moment, almost 100 individuals with disabilities have made their home at Camphill Village. Many have lived here for 50 years or more.

The tradition of Camphill Village is one of strength in unity, where the families of loved ones with disabilities funded our expansion, so there would be another bed, and the possibility of a fulfilling life, for their loved one. It is that same sense of unity that continues to drive this organization, propelled and elevated by gifts from our generous donors. We thank you for continuing to support the mighty mission of Camphill Village, our home in Copake.

With gratitude,

Bill Vogt

Dear Friends, Our community has had quite an exciting year in Copake. We are constantly improving our programing and quality of life in our community, and it is because of your generous donations that Camphill remains the very special place that it is. I’d like to focus, in this letter, on a serious issue that has already affected our community, and the things we can do to lessen that impact.

You may have seen us using the term “Final Rule” in our advocacy work, and I’d like to explain what that means. The “Final Rule” is reference to regulations promulgated by the Federal Government that dictate what types of programs and support services are available under the Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) Waiver of the Medicaid Program. The concept is that the individual “waives” their right to institutional services in favor of home and communitybased services. Although Camphill Village is not waiver funded, most opportunities under the New York State Office for People with Developmental Disabilities (OPWDD) are funded through the “waiver.” To ensure compliance OPWDD has begun reviewing all existing services against the regulations in the Final Rule as part of a statewide Transition Plan. This process seems to favor urban settings as more inclusive than rural settings.

The well-intentioned ruling, motivated largely by the concern to provide individuals with disabilities with more access to choices in their lives, disregards the possibility that those who live in rural settings may choose to live in rural settings—just like the population that is not considered disabled

may also choose to live in a rural setting.

To force an individual with disabilities to live in an urban environment can be detrimental to that person’s quality of life, depending on the needs and desires of the individual.

There are several residents here at Camphill Village who experienced isolation and exclusion in these urban settings prior to moving to Copake. Before moving to Copake, a young resident was regularly taken advantage of and found himself in dangerous situations while living in an urban setting. Another resident experienced severe isolation while living in a lovely home in a charming Hudson Valley village, and grew weary in that setting. And before joining us at Camphill, a resident lived in Manhattan, and despite working at a local bookstore, became bored and grew lonely.

These people love their lives in Camphill Village, and if that should change, they will always have the option to amend their living situation.

Although the Village is situated in a rural area, it provides an ideal setting for community building. It is like a small town, where everybody knows each other and friends are nearby. We have a lot of connections and interactions with the broader community. And with more than 20 nationalities from six continents, the world is well represented in the Village.

Many of you are aware that we experienced unprecedented difficulty in obtaining our current five-year state contract with the OPWDD due to the language set forth in the “Final Rule.” By the time we finished

negotiations, we were more than a year passed our initial contract date. This has never happened to us before, and we only expect the policy landscape to become more arduous for us to navigate when the time comes for our next contract in 2021.

The possibility that we could eventually lose our state funding makes it extremely necessary for us to concentrate on the health of our annual fund to compensate for a partial or total loss of state funding, and we must simultaneously advocate for rural communities like ours to remain an option for individuals with disabilities.

We are proud of our work here. In terms of mental and physical health among members of the population with intellectual and developmental disabilities, there is no state or setting that comes close to meeting the figures that we have achieved here in Copake. Our advocacy initiative is growing, and we hope you have signed up to receive our advocacy emails by writing to advocacy@camphillvillage.org.

On behalf of all of us at Camphill Village in Copake, I thank you for your support.

Sincerely,

Kerst de Jong Executive Director
