2012 ANNUAL REPORT
Building Relationships,
Inspiring Success.
Through direct service youth programs and highly
regarded training programs for adults, Ramapo
for Children works on behalf of children who face
obstacles to learning, enabling them to succeed
in the classroom, at home, and in life.
At the heart of our work is the conviction that
all children seek the same things: to learn,
feel valued and experience success. Ramapo
helps young people learn to align their
behaviors with their aspirations.
Seeing the World through Ramapo Colored Glasses
Everything we do at Ramapo is grounded in the simple but
profound belief that all people—adults and children alike—
share a set of common aspirations: to learn, feel valued
and experience success. Sometimes that belief gets tested
pretty rigorously. We have all witnessed behaviors that
can range from puzzling, to alienating, to downright selfdestructive. It’s easy to get frustrated, angry or to take
things personally. Ramapo’s work—helping people align
their behaviors with their aspirations—requires patience,
empathy and a spirit of generosity.
That generosity of spirit is something our staff members
bring to each of the programs and services we offer. Our
summer camp provides children with cognitive disabilities
and other social and emotional challenges an opportunity
to celebrate their strengths and to experience success.
Our work in schools and youth programs helps educators
view children through the Ramapo lens, enabling them to
understand more clearly how their own adult behaviors can
impact the behaviors of the children they serve. Our Staff
Assistant Experience gives young adults who have struggled
elsewhere an opportunity to develop and practice the
skills required to live, work and socialize as members of
a community. Our retreats program helps teams of people
appreciate how their shared behaviors can move them
forward to achieve mutual goals.
This is an exciting time at Ramapo. While our programs and
services have always been bound together by a common
philosophy, we are discovering new opportunities to integrate
our services and bring them to bear in complementary
ways. We have a growing presence in several new cities and
people are reaching out to us from new parts of the country
for help and support.
Learning to see the world through the Ramapo lens is a
wonderful gift that enriches all who are part of Ramapo:
from our staff, alumni and board members, to the educators,
caregivers, children and young adults we serve. We thank
you for your continued support as we move forward on this
journey, building new relationships and inspiring success
for all people.

One Approach. Broad Impact.
HALLMARKS OF THE RAMAPO APPROACH
Ramapo’s work is grounded in a
set of guiding principles that have
emerged from decades of experience
providing direct service and a
consistent track record of clearly
demonstrated effectiveness:
 P ersonal relationships are the capital that
motivates behavioral change, and relationship
building is a set of skills and activities that can be
taught.
 O bservational learning and role
modeling are powerful teaching tools when
adults model desired behaviors intentionally, both
individually and as a team.
 T houghtful rituals and routines
can teach desired behaviors and are important
elements in establishing emotionally safe environments, and must be adapted to the particular needs
of individual children and groups.
 T he collective celebration of individual
accomplishments is a defining characteristic of
supportive communities, and adults must identify
opportunities to celebrate individual success.
4
 t he habit of reflective practice must be
adopted by both adults and young people, taking
the time to process and reflect alone and with other
members of the community.
Ramapo provides a new way of thinking about challenging behaviors,
social and emotional development, and special needs.
A Portfolio of Skills
Ramapo gives teachers, youth workers, parents and young adults the
tools they need to build relationships and promote positive behavior.
A Pathway to Success
Ramapo helps schools, community organizations and families foster
inclusive and supportive environments for children and young adults.
RAMAPO 2012

 H onest feedback and open communication
are key catalysts for personal development,
and adults must understand how to have difficult
conversations constructively.

The Ramapo Approach
Helps Children Learn and Grow
“I have never seen Michael so calm,
positive and happy as he has been
since he got home from Ramapo!
This summer was truly life changing
for my son and not only did he
acquire some great new tools, but
he also shed some bad habits!”
TRACEY, CAMPER PARENT
Ramapo instills self-confidence and self-reliance
in children, allowing them to build peer relationships,
try new things and experience success.
 J AYDEN

SERVED IN
2012
Nine-year-old Jayden has attended Camp Ramapo
in Rhinebeck, New York for two summers and has
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). For
Jayden, transition times throughout the day were
very challenging. He often refused to move from one
activity to the next, crossing his arms and stopping
in his tracks. One counselor, Emily, built a strong
relationship with Jayden and together they created a
checklist of daily activities for Jayden to successfully
complete. If Jayden participated in every activity on
the list, he was rewarded with a bedtime story from
Emily. The trust, understanding and support helped
him to successfully transition from the morning
wake up, to activities, to meals throughout the day.
Children with a range of social, emotional and
learning challenges, including those affected by
autism spectrum disorders, attend Camp Ramapo
to find a supportive environment where they can
form healthy friendships, make good choices and
experience success. Ramapo’s carefully structured
program and one-to-one staff-to-camper ratio allow
campers’ communications skills and independence
to flourish, setting them up to achieve their goals.

The Ramapo Approach
Helps Adults Support the
Children They Serve
“Your work affected my teaching and my own personal
outlook on things. I’m working with a wonderfully bright
group of pre-kindergarteners who are truly thriving. I
credit a lot of that to the mentoring Ramapo did, and the
behavior management and concrete systems I put into
place at the beginning of the year and use consistently
based on all that you taught me. I smile frequently
and feel much calmer about everything.”
MELISSA, TEACHER, PS 369, BRONX, NY
Ramapo provides tools and tactics to teachers,
youth-service workers and parents, enabling them to
create environments that promote positive behavior.

Michele, Trainer and Coach, has worked with
Ramapo Training for two years. Michele
co-founded two charter schools and a summer
academy and currently serves as the Executive
Director of Association of Excellence for Autism.
She holds a bachelor’s degree from Wesleyan
University and master’s degrees from both
Stanford University and Harvard University.
She is the mother of a son with special needs
and has dedicated her entire professional
career to improving education and working with
students with disabilities and their families.
Like Michele, all Ramapo trainers bring an
extraordinary level of expertise to schools,
community organizations and families, providing
the skills to lead positively, build relationships,
teach strategically, structure situations and
intervene actively. Our work helps increase the
confidence, productivity and effectiveness
of educators, youth-service workers and parents
so that they can successfully manage behaviors
and engage all youth.

The Ramapo Approach
Helps Young Adults
Develop Self-Sufficiency
“We know that it takes more than good
intentions and aspirations. It requires great
expertise, thoughtful planning, constant
monitoring, skilled interventions and teamwork. Because we know this, every time we
left Ramapo after a visit, we felt we were
leaving Sam in the best possible hands to
help him learn and grow into adulthood.”
Deborah, Staff Assistant Experience parent
Ramapo develops the independent living, job
and social skills of young adults while building their
self-determination and resilience.

STAFF ASSISTANT
Max joined the Staff Assistant Experience in the
summer of 2012. Max had trouble connecting
to others and frequently would avoid conversations
by staying busy on his hand-held video game. By
sharing an apartment with a Ramapo staff member
and having regular meetings with his mentor, Max
has been able to practice conversations with caring,
supportive people and build his social skills. Max
has learned to make friends, is more comfortable
starting conversations, and now plans group trips to
the local movie theater. Max also helps tend to the
animals in Ramapo’s corral, which made him realize
how much he enjoyed working with animals. With
community support, Max now volunteers regularly at
the Dutchess County Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) and is taking courses at SUNY
Ulster toward an Animal Science Office Assistant
certificate. Through Ramapo’s supportive community
of mentors, coaches and friends, Staff Assistants
gain the skills to move forward in their development,
learning to identify and overcome behaviors that
have previously hindered their growth. Previous
Staff Assistants have gone on to attend college, work
full-time for local Rhinebeck businesses, and acquire
teaching assistant certifications to work in schools.
“My daughter seemed to develop more
confidence and competence from
the program. Working as a Staff Assistant,
she was able to be the ‘Helper’ instead
of always being the ‘Helped.’ I think that
is transformative.”
Margot, Staff Assistant Experience parent
“It significantly moved his life forward
and he emerged with a direction, real
credentials, and a life plan.”

The Ramapo Approach
Helps Groups Achieve
Collective Goals
“I have taken my classes to Ramapo for retreats for over
10 years. Because of the expert facilitation, students who
are usually leaders take a backseat and let other kids come
to the fore and take on leadership roles. The students
share things with one another that are really important and
personal, connecting on a deeper level to each other and
their teachers. They get to push themselves in new ways
and discover that they can do that again when they go back
to school; all of a sudden students are willing to do things
you didn’t think they would do and open up in ways that
you don’t usually see them doing.”
Ramapo teaches leadership, conflict resolution and
cooperation skills to groups of youth, educators
and other professionals, enabling them to improve their
communication, collaboration and connections.

FACILITATOR
Sam, Supervisor of Programs and Outreach, joined
Ramapo as a summer counselor in 2003 because of
his passion for education and improving the lives
of children. His first summer at Ramapo was the most
challenging, exciting and rewarding experience of
his life, and Sam never looked back. After finishing
his bachelor’s degree, Sam worked at Bloomington
Meadows Hospital, a behavioral and emotional
treatment center, for a year before joining Ramapo’s
year-round staff. Sam has become an expert in
facilitating the Ramapo Approach and now leads
retreats on the Rhinebeck campus. “Ramapo has
helped me live out all my dreams about being a
teacher; I’ve developed lessons, connected classroom
philosophy with real-world applications, built relationships with students, and earned the respect of my
peers and supervisors. I’ve also found a community
that pushes me to keep growing and stay healthy.”
Like Sam, all of Ramapo’s facilitators are carefully
selected for their leadership, enthusiasm and personal
values. Facilitators work with diverse groups to help
them reach shared goals through teamwork activities
and thoughtful reflection. Ramapo Retreats promote
concern for others, personal responsibility, open
and honest communication, acceptance of help,
and a commitment to do one’s best.

preparing them for successful careers.
SUMMERS WORKING
WITH CHILDREN
WHO FACE CHALLENGES
Ramapo offers emerging professionals the opportunity
to provide a traditional summer camp experience to
children with social, emotional or learning challenges.
Camp Ramapo counselors receive unmatched training
and hands-on experience that equip them with professional and personal skills and prepare them to be strong
leaders in the field. Staff alumni have gone on to be
teachers, psychologists, social workers, organization
directors and founders of national service nonprofits.
Americorps
Summer counselors often choose to extend their time
with Ramapo as AmeriCorps members, applying the
Ramapo Approach beyond camp to groups throughout
the year. In this highly selective program, AmeriCorps
members facilitate Ramapo Retreats for youth, educators and families; gain professional growth as coaches,
colleagues and friends to Staff Assistants; and act as
mentors to Ramapo Leadership Program teens during
service weekends. AmeriCorps members leave Ramapo
with the knowledge and experience necessary for
successful careers in youth development.
“As soon my first summer ended, I rushed
to the internet to look up similar programs.
Through this research, I found Teach For America,
and the very next September I was a fourth
grade teacher in the classroom using everything
I learned at Ramapo every day with my kids.
Ramapo taught me skills, interventions and
techniques. You learn to embrace conflict, learn
from it, and grow from it. It’s a place where
you finally get to celebrate every little thing
for everything it’s worth!”
Meredith, CAMP RAMAPO COUNSELOR
Youth Worker Leadership
