Mission: Camphill Village is an integrated community where adults with developmental differences are living a life of dignity, equality, and purpose. We recognize, uphold and nourish the individuality and spiritual integrity of the human being.

There are countless opportunities for spiritual expression and a rich array of cultural, educational, and artistic activities.

Geographic areas served: We are located in Copake, NY, although we are a part of the greater Camphill Movement.
Programs: On 615 acres of wooded hills, gardens, and pastures in rural upstate New York, adults with special needs and long- and short-term service volunteers live and work together as equals in extended family homes throughout Camphill Village. The founding of Camphill Village in 1961 was part of a transformative movement in the United States to reform how society treats people with special needs. We are a 501c3 non-profit organization dedicated to our mission of being an integrated community where people with developmental differences are living a life of dignity, equality, and purpose.
