TRANSFORMATIVE ARTS & LEARNING In 1960, guided by a sense of curiosity and grounded in humor and hard work, Albert and Clare Appel transitioned their 176-acre farm and its 20,000 chickens into a thriving summer community focused on the raw talent and emergent curiosity of humans aged 7 to 17: Appel Farm Arts Camp was born. Over the past 60 years, Appel Farm has delivered transformative arts and learning experiences as the arts education leader in South Jersey. Programs on our campus at Appel Farm, in the schools, and in the community are raising the bar of arts education for our children and families in our community.
