Why Shop Camphill?
There are 15 Camphill communities in the United States and Canada, and more than 100 worldwide. These groundbreaking communities are part of the global Camphill movement, founded almost eight decades ago by Dr. Karl König and other refugees from Nazi-occupied Austria, who sought to create a new model for community life that was inclusive of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
Within Camphill communities, people of all abilities live, work, and enjoy daily life together. Community members are empowered to share their talents. Weaving textiles, woodworking, pottery making, painting, baking, and other artistic and creative activities are at the heart of daily life.
"For almost 80 years, the Camphill movement has nurtured the dignity, self-worth, and abilities of each and every person through its unique lifesharing approach," said Karen Murphy, Executive Director of Camphill Foundation.
