FEATURED ALUM
1.When were you at camp?
I was an Appel Farm
camper for one summer,
Second Session 2004.
2.What was your major and
what were some of your
minors?
My major was Dance,
and while I know I had
two minors the only one
I remember is Musical
Theater. We did Rocky
Horror Picture Show that
summer, and the younger
kids did The Nightmare
Before Christmas. Since
I was a CIT and Musical
Theater Apprentice I got
to help out with both
shows.
[Noreen’s other minor was
Choreography, which may
have blended in with her
memories of her Dance
major!]
3.What was camp like when
you were a camper and
what are some of your
favorite memories?
The best memories I have
from the summer I was
lucky enough to spend
on the Farm were: Friday
Night Concerts (we would
spend an hour getting
ready and arguing over
who would sit by who),
eating at Green Table 7,
spending time laying on
top of each other playing
the HA game — we even
did a HA workshop,
and learning how to
use equipment in the
recording studio. We did
a joint project where we
recorded our voices to
use as the music for a
dance, and it was my first
experience with anything
like that.
4.Where are you living now,
and what are you doing for
work and fun?
I’m currently in my senior
year at Kean University,
where I am studying
Recreation Administration,
and also where I met my
amazing boyfriend. We
go to concerts or sporting
events every week. I also
enjoy playing softball and
tennis, and swimming
when I have free time.
In 2010, I earned my AFA
in Dance at RVCC. I have
taught dance for the past
6 years (ballet, tap, jazz;
mostly ages 2-6, but also
some high school). I’m
living at home in Dunellen,
NJ, primarily, but I’m lucky
enough to be staying
at Appel Farm for the
summer!
5.How do you think you were
influenced by your Appel
Farm experience?
My summer at Appel
Farm influenced so much
of who I am today. For
starters, it was my very
first time away from
home. I have lived in the
same town my whole life,
it was the first experience
I had to make new
friends. It was such good
preparation for college/
dorm life.
Noreen Wilpiszeski
Next, probably
the most
important
factor that was
embedded in me
at Appel Farm
was acceptance.
As I said, this
was my first
time away from
home. I was
exposed to so
many new types
of people, and
the community
at the Farm is
so accepting
and welcoming.
You learn to
give everyone a
chance, and to find out
who’s in the inside, not
to judge someone by the
exterior... That has carried
over into my everyday life.
6.What advice or
suggestions do you have
for present day Appel Farm
campers?
Some advice I would like
to share with campers
today is: enjoy your time
at camp! It goes by so
fast, and once you get
home you’ll miss silly
things like eating Dolphins
and Friends with your
friends.
Also, keep in touch with
your friends you make at
camp. They get to know
you in such a different
way than your “at home”
friends, and the bond
does last forever (all of us
B22 girls are still friends
on facebook!)
My last one is the most
important, no matter how
good you think you are
at sneaking food into the
bunk — you WILL get
caught. More than once
we were busted, after
lights out, eating in the
bathroom. Flawless plans
don’t usually work as well
as you expect. So, instead,
pig out on Visiting Day
and when you’re on trips.
Don’t waste your money
on something that gets
taken away!
Noreen is joining our
Leadership Team as
the Administrative
Assistant this summer,
and we can’t wait to
have her back at Appel
Farm!
What Is Darkness?
When I start to calculate the
things that I am afraid of I think
that I am sometimes a bit over
the edge. You know — cuckoo.
And the funny thing is that the
more I think of it the more it
stays strong — the fear that is.
The comforting thing is when I
realize that other people have
their own fears, I know I am in
good company. Being afraid is
much easier to see and bear
when you see other people also
seeing and bearing fears.
Let’s start with an easy one: the
fear that nobody likes me. That’s
Fear 101. Actually it is Pre-School
101. It’s a common one. I learned
that one — that nobody would
like me — long, long ago. Again,
it makes it much easier for me
not to take it so seriously if other
people have the same fear.
Take me and Jennie for example.
Years ago when Jennie was first
running this camp she worried
that no other counselor would
want to sit at her table. After all,
she was the new director and
new kid on the block and... Kojo,
a big, big-hearted, big man with
a voice like a silken trombone
told Jennie that he would sit at
her table forever.
Several things struck me about
this. First, that Jennie worried
about such a thing blew me
away. I was the one that worried
that nobody would want to sit
at my table even though I had
been working at Appel Farm
for thirteen years. I could see
that her fear had nothing to do
with reality. I mean there were
already enough people who had
experienced what a loving and
direct person Jennie is. So why
should she worry?
The second thing that struck me
was just how loving a gesture it
was for Kojo to offer that loving
hand. So, after Kojo’s last year at
Appel Farm, I was happy to offer
to take his place. And we have
been sharing a table for over
ten years. Wouldn’t sit any place
else. There’s nothing like sharing
fears to make them go away.
When we see the fears in other,
we are able to see them in
ourselves. And they aren’t so
big.
One of the great things that
true community does is to allow
people to “go over the edge.” I
don’t mean wacko. I mean that
edge where we fear that we
aren’t liked or we worry about
not being lovable. Or a worry
that everybody wants to sit
with the popular boy or girl but
nobody wants to sit with me. Or
the worry that “I don’t belong.”
We could probably all make a
sizable list of worries if we sat
down for five minutes.
There are variations of this
fear, like worrying about how
we look. I remember that one
from high school. Just like the
fear of not belonging, we all
have had worries about how we
looked. No matter how beautiful
anybody else told us we looked.
If there be one among who has
not had this fear — this worry
about how you looked — in the
last month — step forward and
receive a halo!
My point is this. All of us have
fears. It comes with being
human. And simply being in a
place where we are able to see
ourselves in each other and
feel supported. That’s a human
community. Because, another
thing that makes us human is our
ability to support and nurture
each other. That’s one of the
things that makes Appel Farm
such a special place.
Let me digress. Maybe two
thousand years ago there was a
very wise man, a rabbi who lived
in the desert. Such a barren and
hot place has produced so many
wise folks.
Now the really wise men
were folks who had learned
some lessons about life. And
what made them wise was
they realized that everybody
could learn these lessons for
themselves.
In those days some people
would search for a really hip
rabbi. This rabbi had collected
a few disciples around him.
Disciples were folks that were
there because they knew he had
something to teach and they
wanted to learn.
The rabbi and about five or six
of these disciples were sitting
in an olive grove. It was night
and a sliver of moon was in the
sky. The brightness of the moon
is brilliant in the desert. Even a
sliver of moon will cast some
light on the silver sands.
The rabbi asked his disciples,
“How do you know the difference
between light and darkness?”
The disciples enjoyed this. It
was fun but it also was serious.
One disciple raised his hand and
said, “Light is when we can tell
that that creature over there on
the dune is a horse and not a
camel?”
The rabbi shook his head.
Another disciple, bursting
with enthusiasm, blurted out,
“Master ” (they called the
really good teachers,”Master”),
“Master,” the disciple shouted,
“Is light when you can tell an
olive tree from a lemon tree?”
The rabbi shook his head.
These riddles made learning
much more enjoyable. The
students actually forgot that
they were learning. A third
disciple couldn’t contain himself,
“I know! I know!” he shouted,
“We know that it is light when
we can see our hands in front
of us.”
Again, the rabbi shook his head.
By now, the disciples were
through with the game. They
wanted the answer.
“What? What? What’s the
answer, rabbi? When do we
know the difference between
light and dark?”
The wise man shook his head
and smiled.
“When we see ourselves in
others. That’s light. All else is
darkness.”
My toast to all of us who will
be at Appel Farm this summer:
“Here’s to a summer of light!”
Sarvananda Bluestone has been
a college professor, published
author and professional psychic.
In addition he has been the Head
Counselor and a Theater Director
at Appel Farm for 26 summers.
He originally came so that his
daughter, Hira, could come as a
camper, and now her daughter, his
grand daughter, Lucy, can come
this summer.
New in 2013
Appel Farm is Going Ga-ga!
Camp Theme!
Ga-ga (“touchtouch”) is an
Israeli variant of
dodgeball. The
game combines
dodging, striking,
running and
jumping with the
object of hitting
opponents with
a ball below the knee while avoiding being hit. The game
can be played by groups of individual players, teams, and in
one-on-one matches.
Check-In Day
New Procedures!
Appel Farm, a
world of best
friends, all-day
arts, having
fun and being
your best self,
sometimes feels
like a world in a
far away galaxy.
This summer,
we are going
to celebrate
that galaxy all
summer long,
along with all the
great skills we learn at camp, like how to love ourselves and
be an amazing friend, share our artistic talents, and be an
engaged and committed community member. It doesn’t stop
at camp, though, we will take these important skills back
to our home galaxy, so we can be at our best camp selves,
confident and caring, for the rest of the year!
This summer, when you arrive, you will drive straight to your
Bunk Area to Check-In! We will send an e-mail with your
Bunk Area the day before camp, and as you pull into the
parking lot, our staff will remind you if you forget!
Molly Layton, a former Painting Instructor, captured our
theme in one of our most favorite pieces of artwork, and so
we are using that art on our 2013 Camp T-Shirts! We can’t
wait to see this art cartwheeling across camp!
We are so excited to add this fun activity to Free-Choice!
We are also excited that our great friend, Jack Cimprich, is
building our Ga-ga pit! So, campers, get ready to Ga-ga!
You will meet your Bunk Head, get your bunk assignment,
complete camp paperwork, meet with a Camp Nurse, and
move into your bunk...all right at your Bunk Area, avoiding
all those long lines! Once you are all moved in, you can
choose your classes, and drop off instruments and cameras.
With the new procedures, based on feedback from previous
summers, your family will experience Check-In Day with
more personal attention, a relaxed atmosphere, and shorter
lines!
New Dance Majors
Dancers will have more choices this summer! We are adding
new Dance Majors, and renovating the Theater Gallery as a
second Dance Studio.

This summer we need you, your creativity, and your camera,
if you have one, to help film: One Day at Appel Farm.
New Minors
Throughout one day each session, under the direction of
staff member Nathan Hunter, campers and counselors will
film or take photos of their everyday life at Appel Farm:
majors, minors, bunk areas, free time, and anything in
between. Once we have all of your footage, we will edit it
all together into a video to showcase how amazing a day at
Appel Farm is!
Let’s all get involved in this fun project!
Theater Performance & Creative Writing
Part of what makes Appel Farm a magical place is how
different, often segregated art forms run wild with each
other all summer. Now that the Creative Writing Department
has joined the Theater Performance Department, new
collaborations are waiting to trot through our fields. One
such collaboration is the forthcoming performance poetry/
slam poetry minor. We look forward to seeing you on
Check-In Day!

Counselor In Training Program
for Teenage Campers
The Counselor In Training Program allows campers ages 16
and 17, or campers going into 11th or 12th grade, to develop
leadership experience, give back to the community, and learn
counseling and teaching skills. CITs are still campers. Like
other campers, CITs will live in a bunk, participate in majors,
minors and camp events, but will also assume additional
responsibilities, and earn a few special privileges and
benefits. Successful CITs will be eligible to participate in our
Camp Internship program for 18-19 year olds.
If you are eligible, and you want to be in the CIT Program,
and you haven’t applied yet, please apply now!

Earth Day!
Earth Day at Appel
Farm was lovely, and
we had a great time!

gardening, recycling, and
art making. Good eats,
great music by The All
New Cheap Moves, and
perfect weather rounded
out the day!

Laura Spires (2011-12) I recently played Cinderella and
the Pea Princess — yes, because one princess was not
enough for me — in The Stinky Cheese Man at Columbus
Children’s Theatre.
Chloe Grier (2004-11) Finishing off my first year of
college here in Dublin; so many fun experiences
working in the Drama Society and making new
friends. Can’t wait to come back to Appel Farm as a
staff member, finally!!
Madeline Soto (2011-13) I got accepted into the cheer
leading team, and I am super excited! I can’t wait for
camp. I am going to show off my new moves, oh, and I
am going to high school next year! Stress here I come!
(This is why I go to camp, my only escape from stress.)
..................
Nina Bombeke (2012-13) My artwork, Owl in the Night, was chosen for the Art Show at

Let’s share books!
So many of us love to read, and
we will have plenty of free time
at camp to relax and dive into
our favorite books. We have a
fun library of books and graphic
novels donated by our Appel
Farmers, so bring some of your
favorite already-read books to
add to the library, and check out
something new!
