The Transition Program at Beaver Farm prepares students with intellectual and developmental disabilities ages 18 to 22 to enter adult life. With day and boarding options, our program and curriculum lead students to greater independence, responsibility, and social and emotional maturity. Through craft and prevocational training, students develop skills, self-reliance, self-esteem, social relationships, a positive attitude to life, and a firm foundation for adult life. 

The wide variety of prevocational activities takes place in the context of our intentional Camphill community where students, resident volunteers, faculty, and staff work side by side to run our 133-acre farm on West Seven Stars Road in Phoenixville.

Our program offers meaningful work activities that better prepare students for life beyond school including:

• Animal care
• Farming and land maintenance
• Crafts including pottery, weaving, and felting
• Food production, gardening, and herb processing
• Catering crew that makes daily lunch for the entire community
• Flower growing, arranging, and sales
