Village Safety During COVID-19

As we continue to navigate the COVID-19 crisis, Camphill Village Copake has ensured the health and safety of village residents as its utmost priority.

Since the start of the pandemic in March, we have taken every measure to limit the potential of COVID-19 to affect the village. Measures we've taken include:
  •  Closing the village to all outside personnel and not allowing visitors
  • Allowing community members to leave Camphill and return only if absolutely necessary
  • Isolating anyone in the village who is experiencing COVID-like symptoms and contacting our health department for guidance
  • Mandating a period of quarantine for all new volunteers joining the community
  • Providing additional sanitation methods to all within the village, including hand sanitizer and soap
  • Socially distancing and wearing facemasks  when maintaining six feet distances from others is not possible

Camphill has been ahead of the curve and is uniquely positioned to continue keeping its residents safe until we are able to return to our new normal.

Should you have additional question on the measures we are taking, please contact us here.
