The Mission of Ramapo for Children
Ramapo for Children inspires youth with
special needs to experience success, develop
healthy relationships and learn necessary
life skills. Ramapo achieves this through
residential camp programs, adventure-based
experiences and innovative training for
the adults who empower children to reach
their full potential.
On our Rhinebeck campus, Ramapo provides
adventure-based, experiential learning
programs that promote positive character
values, build social and learning competencies
and enhance self-esteem in children, youth,
and adults.
In New York City, Ramapo Training—the
professional development program of Ramapo
for Children—provides staff training, program
support, and coaching for educators, parents,
and youth service workers.

LOOKING BACK, LOOKING FORWARD
A letter from Adam Weiss, Ramapo’s new CEO
Dear Friends of Ramapo,
My first trip to the Rhinebeck campus was thirteen years ago, as a visitor to Camp Ramapo.
It was clear to me then that Ramapo was a community of dedicated professionals who understood
how to help some of the most vulnerable children experience success and believe in their own
potential. Camp Ramapo continues to thrive, but Ramapo for Children has become so much more
than just a summer camp program. While maintaining its core philosophy, Ramapo has taken
giant strides over the past decade, touching new audiences in a growing number of new settings.
I’m incredibly honored to have been invited to become part of the Ramapo team.
For many people, Ramapo has been defined by the children we serve, and those
children continue to inspire us during the summer and throughout the year. What
we have discovered about ourselves, however, is that what truly defines us is the
knowledge and expertise we bring to bear on children’s behalf. We are experts! We
are experts at training adults to form meaningful relationships with young people,
relationships that build self-esteem and promote success. We are experts at using role
modeling as a teaching tool, and we are experts at using honest feedback and open
communication as strategies for promoting behavioral change.
In that spirit, we have begun the process of strengthening our ability to tell our story
and reach new audiences. In the coming months we will increase our capacity to promote
Ramapo Training to more schools and agencies in new locations. We will expand our scope of
services by growing the Staff Assistant Experience (formerly known as Footholds), our burgeoning
program for young adults aged 18 through 25. We will also be developing a new “look” for the
organization, along with an updated narrative and a strengthened presence on the web.
Of all that is amazing about Ramapo, the single characteristic that stands out to me as truly
unique is the consistent generosity and support of our board, our parents, our alumni and our
friends. One of the first lessons I learned about Ramapo was that none of our accomplishments,
past or future, would be possible without the Ramapo family.
In closing, I want to take a moment to thank Bernie Kosberg. He is a tough act to follow, but I
wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for his vision and accomplishments.
With gratitude and warm regards,
Adam Weiss
Chief Executive Officer

During Ramapo’s summer programs,
both counselors and campers serve as
role models for positive behaviors.
“My years spent at Ramapo shaped both
my character and my career. While at
Ramapo, I was able to witness firsthand
the transformation of young people as they
realized their full potential and self-worth
within their daily lives. I am most grateful
for that experience.” Troy S., former counselor
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, with a track record of demonstrated success:
RAMAPO’S PHILOSOPHY AND
APPROACH
• Personal relationships are the capital that motivates
behavioral change, and relationship building is a set of skills
and activities that can be taught.
Ramapo for Children is a nationally recognized nonprofit organization that has been helping young people with special needs reach their full potential since
1922. With over 85 years of experience in direct
service and training programs, Ramapo has developed
a unique ability to create inclusive environments
that promote positive behavioral change, foster skill
development, and help support learning and personal
growth.
• Observational learning and role modeling are powerful
teaching tools when adults model desired behaviors intentionally, both individually and as a team.
At the heart of the Ramapo approach is our ability to
equip educators, caregivers and youth with the skills
they need to build trusting relationships, serve as
effective role models, handle challenging behaviors
constructively, and improve continuously through
reflective practice.
4
• Thoughtful rituals and routines can teach desired behaviors,
are important elements in establishing safe emotional
environments, and must be adapted to the particular needs
of individual children and groups.
• The collective celebration of individual accomplishments
is a defining characteristic of supportive communities, and
adults must identify opportunities to celebrate individual
success.
• Honest feedback and open communication are key
catalysts for personal development, and adults must understand how to have difficult conversations constructively.
• Both adults and young people must adopt the habit of
reflective practice, taking the time to process and reflect
alone and with other members of the community.

LOOKING BACK : HONORING RAMAPO’S TRAILBLAZER
On July 13th, 2010, over 130 people made their way
down Ramapo’s mile-long dirt and gravel driveway.
Former counselors, campers, parents, friends, staff,
and Board members strolled along the edge of Lake
Sepasco, took the opportunity to test their stamina on
the high ropes course, and marveled at Ramapo’s
renovated campus buildings. While they came from
many different walks of life, all of these people
shared a common goal—honoring Bernie Kosberg for
his 25 years of service as CEO of Ramapo for
Children.
The highlight of the day was the dedication of the
“Bernie Kosberg Interpretive Nature Trail.” This milelong loop through Ramapo’s rambling woods traverses
a diverse variety of habitats found in the Hudson
Valley, with trail signs along the way teaching visitors
about local ecology. The trail symbolizes the spirit
of creativity and curiosity that Bernie brought to
Ramapo over the years, and underscores Ramapo’s
commitment to provide therapeutic learning in a
beautiful natural environment.
In addition to the summer event, a second gathering
came together in late October at Mickey Mantle’s
restaurant in New York City. After a touching
slideshow tribute chronicling Bernie’s 25 years at
Ramapo, the Board announced the creation of the
Kosberg Family Summer Camp Scholarship Fund,
which received over $200,000 in support.
This long-term fund will be designated to provide
scholarship support for disadvantaged children with
special needs, honoring Bernie’s vision to provide
summer camp opportunities for all children to grow,
learn, and have fun.

“Most of us have little tolerance for the
child who is different. For that child,
the rejection can be devastating. You
have given my son the chance to make
friends and you’ve given me back hope.
You have succeeded!”
Joseph P., camper parent
Summer camp is a time for learning new skills
and developing lasting friendships.
ON-CAMPUS PROGRAMS
SUMMER PROGRAMS
The Ramapo approach was refined on our 250-acre
campus in Rhinebeck, New York. During the
summer, we operate Camp Ramapo, a residential
camp that serves children from ages 6 to 16 for whom
learning is difficult, including children affected by
autism spectrum disorders or other social, emotional,
or behavioral challenges. Camp Ramapo incorporates
all the best aspects of traditional summer camp into a
unique therapeutic environment with highly trained
staff and a one-to-one staff-to-camper ratio.

PROFILE OF A RAMAPO CAMPER
Sarah is a 7-year-old girl from New York City. She is nonverbal, and before coming to Ramapo she was unable to
communicate with her caregivers, resulting in daily tantrums
and difficulties learning basic skills such as table etiquette.
With the one-on-one attention that she received at Ramapo,
she quickly started using and responding to sign language,
communicating needs such as using the bathroom, as well as
indicating “please” and “thank you.” Counselors also worked
with her to learn to use a fork, stay seated during meals, and
clear her dishes. On Visiting Day Sarah’s mother was overcome with happiness at being able to sit next to her daughter
and enjoy a picnic lunch.
“Thank you for a great weekend! The Ramapo facilitators
did an exceptional job, not only in creating a great learning
experience, but in making Ramapo a very warm,
welcoming, and inviting place.”
Hasani I., non-profit youth leader, NYC
During both the summer and the school year, participants
engage in a variety of adventure-based activities.
YEAR-ROUND PROGRAMS
The Rhinebeck campus is busy year-round. Many
camp participants and their families stay connected
to Ramapo through weekend programs and ongoing
mentoring, while Ramapo Retreats hosts groups of
young people, educators, and other community-based
organizations for short-term Ramapo experiences.
These retreats enrich participants with a greater
appreciation of their own potential and provide
a toolbox of new strategies for successful
communication, teamwork, and leadership.
2010 STATISTICS AT A GLANCE
• Number of summer campers: 573
• Summer camp scholarship funds awarded: $563,750
• Number of summer staff: 195
• Number of on-campus year-round staff: 23
• Number of retreat participants: 6,700

“The work at Ramapo is more
difficult than at the schools I
previously attended, but there
are more opportunities to learn
skills I can really use. I’m doing
real work here and ‘putting it
to the test,’ performing tasks
that really make a difference
around the campus. I also like
being able to approach people
and talk to them without being
made fun of. At Ramapo, I’m
just one of the guys.”

PROVIDING A CONTINUUM OF SERVICES
THE STAFF ASSISTANT EXPERIENCE
For young adults who are on the cusp of selfsufficiency and independence, the Staff Assistant
Experience is a residential work program that gives
participants the opportunity to practice vocational
and life skills in the company of a supportive team
of mentors and coaches.
Through the Staff Assistant Experience, Ramapo
provides young adults with work and living experiences that can prepare them to live independently of
their parents. The primary goals of the Staff Assistant
Experience are:
• Developing Independent Living Skills: Mentors
work with participants to provide instruction on
such tasks as meal planning, shopping, cooking,
cleaning and household budgeting.
• Developing Social Skills: An inclusive living community provides structured and unstructured situations where participants can be socially successful.
• Developing Job Skills: Job coaches provide
meaningful work opportunities to teach universally
applicable vocational skills and help participants
manage supervisory relationships in the workplace.
8
HIGHLIGHTS OF THE STAFF ASSISTANT EXPERIENCE
In summer 2010, the second year of Ramapo’s Staff Assistant
Experience served seven young adults, five of whom
continued on into the fall program. Extensive evaluation of
the program has been conducted through interviews with
participants, parents, and Ramapo staff members, and
outcomes have been overwhelmingly positive.
• Learning Tangible Work Skills: Staff Assistants reported
that they learned tangible work skills, developed a work
ethic, and were able to apply vocational skills that they
learned previously to “real work.”
• Building Social Relationships: Staff members reported
that they valued the personal relationships they developed
with Staff Assistants, along with being able to help Staff
Assistants set goals and work toward achieving those goals.
• Providing a Support Network: Ramapo was able to provide a network of support for both Staff Assistants and
staff members through close and frequent communication,
as well as opportunities for both work and socialization.

AMERICORPS AT RAMAPO
Ramapo’s AmeriCorps Program—“Future Leaders in
Youth Development”—is an opportunity for young
adults to participate in a meaningful service learning
experience. Ramapo offers eight summer and ten
year-round AmeriCorps positions. AmeriCorps
members are involved in a variety of tasks, learning
tangible leadership skills in the fields of youth
development and special education.
“As an AmeriCorps member at Ramapo, I
was learning every day. I learned ways
to help prevent and manage difficult behavior
in children. I learned how to plan and lead
events and outdoor activities for diverse
populations. I learned how to structure
activities to push a group to their highest
potential. I learned how to plan community
service projects and write a public service
announcement. Through everything I
learned, I gained confidence and clarity
for my future goals.”
Rebecca S., AmeriCorps member
RESPONSIBILITIES OF A RAMAPO AMERICORPS
MEMBER
• Participating in and leading experiential learning
programs—AmeriCorps members learn how to facilitate
activities in both summer and year-round programs.
• Interacting with Staff Assistants—as mentors,
job coaches, and roommates.
• Developing community service projects—in 2010
Ramapo AmeriCorps members recruited 358 volunteers
who provided over 1,300 hours of service at 40 different
projects located throughout the Hudson Valley.

“In the weeks following Ramapo’s trainings and coaching sessions
there has been a new energy and camaraderie within the faculty.
There is a distinct change in the attitudes and behavior of the staff
and I am prepared to continue training our faculty in the fall.”
Rodney F., high school principal, New York City
OFF-CAMPUS PROGRAMS
RAMAPO TRAINING’S
10TH ANNIVERSARY
Since 2001, the Ramapo approach has been “exported”
to hundreds of public schools, private schools, and
youth-service organizations throughout the New York
Metropolitan area. Ramapo Training provides behavior
management techniques, program support, and
coaching for educators, parents, and youth service
workers, and has empowered thousands of teachers and
other youth service professionals with practical tools
needed to transform classrooms, after-school programs,
and summer camps into environments that foster
positive behaviors and promote success. Specific training specialties include managing difficult behaviors,
structuring programs to meet individual student needs,
increasing student engagement, strategies for avoiding
conflict situations, and creating inclusive environments
for children with autism spectrum disorders.
Ramapo Training has grown significantly in the
past 10 years, from having one part-time staff
member to a current staff of 38 (including 6 full-time
administrative staff and 32 trainers). Ramapo
Training now collaborates with over 200 schools
and agencies in the New York Metropolitan region.

HIGHLIGHTS OF
RAMAPO TRAINING
REACHING TEACHERS IN NYC
From 2007-2009, Ramapo Training undertook
an extensive evaluation of its teacher training programs, working with over 250 teachers at 13 New
York City schools.
The studies had statistically significant findings
across the years, showing that teachers gain skills in
classroom management (effectiveness in the classroom) and that they have an improved sense of ability
and satisfaction in their jobs (resiliency). In addition,
95% of teachers surveyed gave high ratings to our
trainings, and almost all say that they would attend
another training by Ramapo.
OUT-OF-SCHOOL TIME PROGRAMS:
DEVELOPING BEHAVIOR MANAGEMENT
SPECIALISTS
In 2009-2010, a total of 31 staff members from
out-of-school time programs participated in a yearlong Behavior Management Specialist Training
Series. Results reported by workshop participants
were overwhelmingly positive. Following the workshop series, 100% of participants reported a reduction
in behavior incidents and noted an increase in
positive relationships between staff and the children
they served. Participants reported that they and other
staff were better able to manage difficult behaviors,
were more confident, and were more likely to handle
disruptive behaviors on their own.
MEETING PARENTS’ NEEDS WITH
TARGETED WORKSHOPS
Responding to feedback in our workshops, Ramapo
continues to develop new curricula to address the
needs of parents raising and advocating for children
with special needs. Current offerings include:
• Helping Parents and Caregivers to Manage the
Behavior of Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders
• Help Me Fit In! Practical Strategies for Teaching Your
Child Social Skills
• Show and Tell: Using Visual Strategies to Help Your
Child Understand, Listen and Follow Directions
11
MEASURING RESULTS &
INFORMING THE FIELD
Ramapo for Children is committed to the ongoing
success of our programs. Our 85-year history, which
includes 10 years of Ramapo Training in New York
City schools and after-school programs, provides us
with a wealth of knowledge that we are continuously
using to inform our practice.
Our goal is not only to enrich the lives of the
children served by Ramapo programs, but also to
share our unique perspective nationally, positioning
Ramapo as a thought leader in the field of training
adults—including teachers, youth workers and
camp counselors—to work with children who face
challenges learning and forming relationships.
Ongoing studies consistently show that participants
in Ramapo’s programs significantly improve their
social and relationship building skills. As we
continue to capture program-specific evidence and
youth development outcomes from Camp Ramapo,
Ramapo Retreats, Ramapo Training and the Staff
Assistant Experience, Ramapo for Children is
equipped to both share our knowledge of best
practices broadly and foster an ongoing cycle of
learning and development.
12
HIGHLIGHTS OF PROGRAM EVALUATION IN 2010
• Ramapo Training: After attending a Ramapo Training
session, 97% of teachers reported that they were able to
establish productive relationships with their students.
• Summer Camp Evaluation: With funding from the
Eisman Foundation for Children, Ramapo is conducting a
three-year study of 24 young children with special needs,
evaluating the long-term effects of summer camp programs
on social skills and self-confidence. In the first year of
this study, 100% of camper parents and 87% of campers
reported that camp increased participants’ self-confidence.
• Staff Assistant Experience: In-depth interviews show
that Staff Assistants gain meaningful work experience and
feel they are an important part of the Ramapo community.
• Ramapo Retreats: 98% of adults and 94% of youth
participants said that their group got along better after
attending a Ramapo Retreat program.
