Description
Camphill Soltane provides continuing education for young adults with developmental disabilities andmeaningful career paths for adults with developmental disabilities. Many students and residents live in the Camphill Soltane community along with residential supporters; some day students and residents also join us from the local area.
Camphill Soltane was founded in 1988 on a 50-acre campus about an hour west of Philadelphia. Camphill Soltane is one of more than 100 communities in the international Camphill Movement, which began in Europe in 1939 as a humanitarian response to the social and moral conditions of the time. The founders of Camphill realized that sharing life with people who need more support or a different pace of life brings beautiful qualities into all our lives.
