About us

The Camphill Family

Camphill MK is one of many Camphill communities around the world, all sharing a way of living and working alongside people with learning disabilities.

A worldwide movement

Part of Something Bigger

Since the first community was founded in Aberdeen in 1939, Camphill communities have grown all over the world. Each is independent, but all share a belief in the abilities of every person and in the arts, work and community as a way to unlock potential.

Today there are more than 100 Camphill communities around the world.
