Camphill Now and Then

The Camphill movement is celebrating its 80th year this year.  Robin Jackson, a former Development and Training Coordinator at Camphill Scotland, wrote an article in which he describes the birth of the Camphill Movement.

The article, which was published last year in the peer-reviewed academic journal Northern Scotland, comments on the founder’s influences and challenges and brings us up to date in 2020 with the current position of Camphill in Scotland.
