ARRGGGH... in celebration of International Talk Like a Pirate Day


Each year thanks to the generosity of the Anderson Family, who donates their vacation home, and the support of the Morrie Huston Villager Activity Fund, two groups of villagers and coworkers from Camphill Village Kimberton Hills take a Village Vacation to the Outer Banks in September.

While they are there, a popular spot is the Jolly Roger restaurant - which is of course, pirate-themed.

ARGGH!








In the last two years, the group has also visited the Nags Head Fire Department where the pirate fun sometimes continues.





There have also been many trips to the aquarium, ferry rides, days on the beach and other adventures.  Research confirms that vacations relieve stress, increase productivity at work and improve health and relationships.  Everyone deserves some rest and relaxation, including people with developmental disabilities, and Morrie was deeply committed to nurturing these experiences.   If you'd like to learn more about The Morrie Huston Villager Activity Fund, which helps provide these great experiences for our villagers, please click here.  Thank you!
