What is the Camphill Movement?
The Camphill Movement was founded in 1939 by Austrian pediatrician Karl Konig as an initiative for social change inspired by anthroposophy. Camp hill communities are residential “life-sharing” communities and schools for adults and children with learning disabilities, mental health problems and other special needs, which provide services and support for work, learning and daily living. The role of the school was to recognize, nurture and educate this essential self. The communities’ philosophy states that “a perfectly formed spirit and destiny belong to each human being.”
