Celebrating an extraordinary 80-year legacy of compassion and inclusion, Camphill is a worldwide movement of vibrant lifesharing communities where people with and without intellectual and developmental disabilities live, work, and enjoy daily life together.
The movement was founded in Aberdeen, Scotland, in 1940, by a group of Austrian refugees who sought to establish a place where they would care for, live with, and educate children with intellectual and developmental disabilities, such as autism and Down syndrome.
In a world where institutionalization was the norm, the work of these disability rights pioneers was groundbreaking. Following the teachings of philosopher Rudolf Steiner, they sowed the seeds for a progressive new model of inclusion.
Today, there are more than 100 Camphill communities and affiliates in 22 countries worldwide. Thousands of people with and without intellectual and developmental disabilities have lived and worked as part of Camphill, their lives shaped by its unique approach to community.
Founded in 1966 to support two fledgling Camphill communities in New York and Pennsylvania, Chestnut Ridge, NY-based Camphill Foundation has grown dramatically over the past six decades. Its mission is to grow, strengthen, and safeguard the Camphill movement at 15 Camphill communities and affiliates in the United States and Canada, and others in underprivileged areas worldwide.
Camphill Foundation fulfills this mission by providing strategic grants and low-interest loans that increase the number of Camphill communities and Camphill-inspired initiatives; expand the number of people served by Camphill; and cultivate awareness of volunteer coworker opportunities available through Camphill communities.
