Love amid loss: The ‘Enchanted’ Napa story of Matthew and Kristen Beard

02/11/2025 LightHouse Staff

LightHouse Staff Note: The following is an excerpt from an article from the Napa Valley Register.

By Jennifer Huffman, Buss sines Editor, Napa Valley Register

Matthew and Kristen Beard have only been married since 2022 but have already faced many significant life challenges, including one of Napa’s worst natural disasters.

Matthew, 37, is the head chef at the Enchanted Hills Camp, located at 3410 Mount Veeder Road in the forested hills northwest of Napa. Kristen Beard, 34, is a social worker based in Napa County. The two live in the city of Napa.

Both have a connection to Enchanted Hills Camp that is deeply personal.

Enchanted Hills is the only camp serving blind and low-vision babies, youth, adults and their families in the western United States.

Rose Resnick, a blind musician, teacher and philanthropist, founded Enchanted Hills in 1950. The 311-acre property belongs to the nonprofit LightHouse for the Blind and Visually Impaired.

Matthew is legally blind. “I have an eye condition called aniridia which is (the) lack of an iris, the colored part of your eye,” he explained.

He grew up in Sacramento and first connected with Enchanted Hills Camp as a camper, and later as a counselor.

Kristen’s mother had been a counselor at the camp in the 1980s, which inspired her daughter to work at Enchanted Hills as well. Kristen, who is from Santa Cruz, later served as head female counselor while Matthew was also on the staff.

After a fire, this camp for the visually impaired got reinvented

The 2017 fire that burned down much of Enchanted Hills Camp in Napa, California had a silver lining. The camp was originally designed in the early 1900s for people with sight, but it has become a beloved retreat for the blind and visually-impaired for the last 75 years. When more than a dozen of its buildings were destroyed in the fire, the chance arose to rebuild the camp for the unique needs of the people who have been using it for decades.

“This really was never designed with the thought of access in mind,” says Helen Schneider, associate principal and project manager at Perkins & Will, the architecture firm that redesigned the camp. Working closely with the camp’s owner, the nonprofit Lighthouse for the Blind and Visually Impaired, the architects made accessibility a guiding principle in its design, from the process to the final product.

The result is a modern wilderness retreat that integrates tactile and auditory clues throughout its site and buildings, making the camp experience more approachable for people with low- or no vision. The camp has been comprehensively reconsidered to accommodate its visually impaired visitors and staff, many of whom were consulted during the design process. The new design includes a camp-wide system of cane-detectable paths, hiking trails, and rooms designed to modulate background noises, and subtle details in interior furnishings.

“This is an experience and a property that reflects that it was created by and for blind people. You can’t find that anywhere,” says Summer Dittmer, VP of External Affairs at Lighthouse.

23rd Annual Gill Benefit Concert: On the Road Again: Willie Nelson’s Letters to America to Benefit EHC

02/06/2025 LightHouse Staff

and Bob Feiner

It’s time once again for the Gill Benefit Concert to benefit Enchanted Hills Camp. This year’s concert features Mollie and The Sweet Shop Boy, with a special appearance by Anne Gill.

This year’s concert takes place on Saturday, February 22, at 7:30 pm at the Menlo School, Martin Family Hall, 50 Valparaiso Ave. Atherton, 94027.

Seating is on a first come, first seated basis. Those planning to attend should contact Nancy Gill at gillnancyg@gmail.com or 650-906-5264; please indicate numbers attending and provide your contact information.

Here is a message from Steve and Nancy Gill about the Gill Benefit Concerts:

“In 1997, shortly after she graduated from Los Altos High School, our 18-year-old daughter, Anne Gill, was in a near-fatal car accident that left her blind and brain injured. When Anne returned home In the spring of 1998, we were frustrated to discover that while many programs either served those with traumatic brain injuries or helped the blind and visually impaired, very few resources were designed to help people with multiple disabilities, like our daughter. Therefore, we were delighted to find out that the LightHouse for the Blind offered a session at its Enchanted Hills Camp (EHC) for visually impaired adults with other disabilities as well. Anne and other participants enjoyed spending five days in the Napa hills, participating in activities like horseback riding, swimming and hiking with a remarkable, inspiring staff. Our gratitude for the camp’s existence, our appreciation for the incredible patience and compassion of the staff (many of whom are visually impaired), and our desire to support the special needs session at EHC inspired Steve, a veteran Bay Area actor/singer and the founder of Menlo School’s Fine Arts Program, to organize the first benefit concert for the LightHouse in 1999. The Lighthouse has used the proceeds from these concerts to provide scholarships to those attending Enchanted Hills Camp and help fund rebuilding projects in the aftermath of the devastating 2017 fires. For this year’s benefit, Steve and his good friends, singer Mollie Hudner Thomson, guitarist Bob Feiner, and drummer Steve Beitler, will present “On The Road Again, Willie Nelson’s Letters to America.” We hope that you enjoy the show. Your contributions will help the LightHouse continue providing a very special experience to blind adults like Anne.”

If you are unable to attend the concert but would like to make a donation, please send a check to:

Enchanted Hills Camp 2025 Registration is Now Open!

We are thrilled to announce that Enchanted Hills Camp will officially open for registration in early February! Whether you’re a nature lover, adventure seeker, or someone looking to make lifelong memories, our camp has something special for everyone.

All our camp sessions are open to campers who are blind, low vision and Deafblind.

Registration Details:

To register online, please click on the link underneath the camp session you wish to attend. Once you have submitted the application, a member of the EHC Team will review, and reach out to confirm participation.

If you have any questions about our application process, encounter any accessibility issues, or would like to partake in one of our application office hours, please contact our camp team at 415-694-7372 or via ehc@old.lighthouse-sf.org.

Important Information for Our Campers

At EHC, we are dedicated to ensuring every camper has a safe and enjoyable experience. While our staff is committed to providing support, it’s important that campers should be capable of independently managing daily tasks such as grooming, toileting, dressing, feeding, morning and nighttime routines (e.g., brushing teeth), and basic navigation. Our summer staff will offer assistance as needed. Please understand that we are unable to consistently offer one-on-one assistance to campers. Therefore, all campers must be able to manage their daily living needs with minimal aid. If additional support is necessary, campers are required to bring a personal aide. There is no charge for an aide to attend camp, but they must pass our background screening protocols.

These activities are designed to foster independence as campers explore new challenges alongside their peers and build lasting friendships. A key aspect of the Youth Session experience is the support campers receive from both their peers and mentors who are blind or have low vision. These experienced counselors provide guidance and serve as role models, helping campers navigate challenges, develop self-advocacy skills, and build a sense of community.

Youth Session will be run simultaneously with Teen Session but will follow a unique daily schedule, allowing more dedicated time for youth campers to connect with peers of their own age. Campers will be grouped by age and assigned to cabins located in a separate area of camp from the Teen campers, providing a supportive and age-appropriate environment. Youth and Teen campers will only interact during shared meals and select evening activities. The combination of peer connection, mentorship, and tailored programming creates a dynamic and enriching experience that helps youth campers build confidence, foster independence, and develop skills that will serve them well beyond their time at camp.

A message from the CEO

01/24/2025 LightHouse Staff

Dear Members of the California Deaf-Blind Community and Beyond,

At LightHouse for the Blind and Visually Impaired, we deeply value our Deaf-Blind community, recognizing the unique challenges and opportunities you face. As we begin a new year and continue to move forward with our 2023-2028 Strategic Plan, we want to reaffirm our unwavering commitment to serving and uplifting your vibrant community.

Our plan explicitly acknowledges the distinct experiences of Deaf-Blind individuals, and we are dedicated to addressing the inequities that persist. We understand that accessibility goes beyond vision and communication supports; it encompasses comprehensive resources, equitable services, and tailored programs that reflect the intersectionality of your experiences.

To this end, we are dedicating focused resources to expand and enhance our Deaf-Blind services. This includes the development of a comprehensive Deaf-Blind program with offerings such as employment and workforce services and an innovative Deaf-Blind curriculum integrated with independent living skills and assistive technology. Additionally, we are committed to building a Co-Navigator and Support Service Provider (SSP) program that ensures you have the support necessary to thrive in all areas of life.

Central to this commitment is our Whole Person Care Model, which emphasizes treating each individual as a complete, multifaceted person with unique needs and aspirations. This model is designed to address not only the immediate challenges of daily life but also the broader aspects of well-being—physical, emotional, social, and psychological. By incorporating interdisciplinary support, such as mental health services, case management, and peer mentorship, we ensure that Deaf-Blind individuals are empowered holistically. Our goal is to foster not just independence but a thriving quality of life, built on community, equity, and personal growth.

We have set a goal to increase services for Deaf-Blind individuals by at least 25% each year. In the first year, we exceeded this target, ensuring that our programs and services are accessible, inclusive, and tailored to meet your needs. To foster continuous learning and improvement, we will engage in ongoing dialogue with a subcommittee of Deaf-Blind individuals to gather feedback on the relevance and effectiveness of our services.

On a personal level, my commitment to the Deaf-Blind community extends far beyond what is outlined in our strategic plan. It is a deep and enduring passion of mine to ensure that you receive the care, support, and opportunities you deserve. During my time at LightHouse, we have made significant improvements across all services, including the introduction of dedicated case management specifically for Deaf-Blind individuals. Service navigation has become more streamlined and responsive, ensuring that Deaf-Blind members of our community can access the resources they need more easily and efficiently than ever before. This is just the beginning, as we continually strive to adapt and refine our offerings based on your input.

While we have made strides, I believe the best way to truly serve you is to listen directly to your experiences, aspirations, and challenges. Therefore, I would like to personally invite you for a Q&A Session where we can hear from you, answer your questions, and explore new ways to enhance our services. This session will provide an open space for dialogue, and we encourage your active participation. Your insights will be invaluable in helping us shape the next phase of our work and deepen our commitment to your community.

Your voice matters, and it is central to shaping the future of our services. Together, we will create a world where Deaf-Blind individuals not only live independently but flourish with full participation and respect in their communities.

Thank you for your continued trust and support. I look forward to working with you and for you as we move forward with this plan. I would like to work with you to plan a date for the Q&A Session that will work best for members of your community to be held live at our 1155 Market Street location, as well as, virtually if that would encourage more participation. Please feel free to reach out to me at SharonG@LightHouse-SF.org or directly at (415).694.7346 voice, video or SMS.
