Anticipating the Reunion

I came to Appel Farm as a counsellor in 2001 and 2002, whilst finishing off my degree in Design. I still look back on those summers as happy times full of cherished memories. The biggest thing that I took away from the Farm was meeting so many professional artists and musicians, and realising that all the enjoyment of the creative arts that I had experienced as a young person could become a lifetime career and passion. 

 After 2002 I desperately wanted to return to work at camp but a family tragedy kept me in the UK for a while, and after that life moved on and I was unable to take time off for the whole summer.

 So, the opportunity to come back to camp for Labor Day weekend in 2009 is a welcome one. It seems like a long way to travel for a weekend, but I am sure it will be worth it. I first heard about the reunion last year in September when I visited Jennie Q at the farm, and booked my flight as soon as I got home (so it’s been booked nearly a year in advance, that’s how keen I am to be there!!). Appel Farm is a very special place, and I am very much looking forward to being there again with farming friends, old and new!
