Camphill Gap Year Program

These unique programs combine community living, the arts, special education and spiritual practices into a rich program and have the ability to culminate in a Bachelor’s Degree via Prescott College. This is great if the goal of your gap year is to further your education since several of our communities also offer extensive study programs through the Camphill Academy. Visit Camphill Academy’s website for more information on these programs.

Camphill staff are placed amongst the local community of individuals with disabilities. As a Camphill volunteer coworker you play a vital role in our vibrant communities. You will assist in a range of activities including education, gardening and farming, painting, pottery, woodworking, textiles and weaving, and sports. Coworkers are from diverse backgrounds and have come from across the world to participate in a wide range of activities. Coworkers live and work in one of the households in the community. Coworkers provide a range of support and enjoy daily life with other community members.

Whether you are taking a break after high school, during your college studies or you are just looking for a new perspective for your life and your work, Camphill has plenty of gap year opportunities for you. Each year many young people come to live and work in one of our Camphill Communities in North America.

You live a healthy and active lifestyle in beautiful surroundings, meet inspirational people and learn many new skills. What better way to spend a gap year?
