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. 
HOME LIFE
There are 21 residential homes in the Village, each of which is shared by adults with developmental disabilities, a set of long-term house leaders, and a few volunteers who are here for a year or more.

WORK LIFE
On a given day at Camphill Village we finish breakfast at home and head over to any one of the workplaces in the Village. These can be other houses that need assistance cooking or straightening up, or one of our many gardens or craft studios. We break at noon for a wholesome lunch, followed by an hour of rest, before heading back out to wrap up our workday.

AGRICULTURE
Farming and agriculture are the backbone of our community. Our society is strongly connected to the Earth and we nourish ourselves with the food we grow every day here. Many volunteers choose to pursue and learn about the agriculture at Camphill, instilling the skill of living alongside the Earth which lasts a lifetime.
