About the Community

What we do

Camphill Village USA is a unique and vibrant life-sharing community of 250 individuals, including 95 adults with developmental disabilities. Founded in Copake, New York in 1961, Camphill Village USA is the oldest and largest Camphill community in North America and sits on 615 acres of verdant hills, pastures, and beautiful gardens in southern Columbia County. Camphill Village is part of the international Camphill Movement, which is based on the insights of anthroposophy, the philosophy, world view, and spiritual path of Rudolf Steiner Ph.D. Life at Camphill Village is based on the active affirmation of the dignity, spiritual integrity, and valued contribution of each individual.

Our Mission

Camphill Village USA is a community of people, some with special needs, who live and work together caring for each other and the Earth.
