Home Life

Home life at Camphill Village Copake is much more than maintaining a household, it’s a lifestyle with shared connections, both personal and spiritual. Living among your peers can be a transformative experience, one that gives you a unique opportunity to grow from within and gain new perspective on responsibility and your own ability. 

Life-sharing, as we call it, is the lifeblood of our tiny society and is the foundation for the experiences our volunteers  have during their time here. You will create  authentic friendship s with your fellow housemates and volunteers that will last far beyond your time at Camphill Village. The diverse households at Camphill create strong, dependable relationships that become a natural support system for you during your time as a volunteer  that will give you the confidence to fully  plunge  yourself into  our village and  into  your own  potential.  

We are a truly international community and our homes are made up of individuals from all backgrounds. Together, we search for meaning in our lives and share what we have in common rather than dwell on our differences. Through our life-sharing activities, we gain a wider acceptance of each other and all citizens of the world.
