"Every single time I have been in the company of Camphill people I've found it a blessing … Brian was finding something inside himself he didn't have before coming to Camphill."
Gail Wainwright

"What magic potion have you inserted into my nephew Lee George's diet to have effected this astonishingly rapid adjustment to the life of Camphill? To the wizards in your midst, my profound thanks."

"David has found a rich and fulfilling life. My dream has come true."

"I've seen many, many programs that don't contain any type of rich cultural and spiritual life. It's almost as though if someone has handicaps, they don't have a soul. But they do. At Camphill this is always plugged into and respected."
Mary Pat Baxter, Esq.
Parent and Advocate Attorney

"When I come here (Camphill Village, Copake, NY), I see the co-workers and the villagers in this kind of mutual "us" which, I have to say, is a quite unusual thing in the world. I come here not only to play concerts for people, but also to feel a sort of spiritual refreshment that being here makes me feel. It's not very often that you feel this kind of harmoniousness in the world. It's a wonderful experience."
Richard Goode
Concert Pianist

"I have the opportunity to visit many services for persons with developmental disabilities. Often community residences seem more like "programs" than "homes." Such was not the case at your home. From colorful interiors - to strong relationships with neighbors - to shared activities, it is clear that your home is one which takes pride in its appearance, takes seriously its role in the community, and honors all its members equally."
Peggy Collins
California Legislature, Senate Select Committee on Developmental Disabilities & Mental Health

"The Camphill Communities of North America share a unique and powerful mission grounded in an historically rich, ethical tradition and a deep commitment to the physical, spiritual and cultural well being of people with intellectual disabilities."
Valerie J. Bradley
President, Human Services Research Institute

"I am impressed with the mission of Camphill Communities and we are fortunate to have it in Santa Cruz County."
Mardi Wormhoudt
