Nurturing promise
The Camphill Aberdeen City and Shire communities create nurturing environments in which individuals of all ages can fulfil their potential.
Camphill Communities have a broad outlook on life.
Everyone is encouraged, the extent of their abilities, to participate in the life and decision making process in their own community and that of the wider community in the Aberdeen area.
Camphill Communities have a broad outlook on life.
Everyone is encouraged, the extent of their abilities, to participate in the life and decision making process in their own community and that of the wider community in the Aberdeen area.
Reflecting this, there are many links between our communities and local organisations – such as the partnership agreement between Camphill and the University of Aberdeen – to deliver the BA degree programme in Social Pedagogy.
An ethic of care is a practice, not a set of rules and regulations.

Camphill Aberdeen City and Shire represents the shared interests of seven Camphill charities in the Aberdeen area.
The Camphill pioneers likened their first community in Aberdeen to lighting a candle on the hill.
Now that candle spreads its light widely.
More than 700 people live and work in Camphill Aberdeen City and Shire communities, offering education, therapies, training, work and living opportunities for vulnerable children, young people, adults and the elderly.
Internationally the Camphill Movement extends to more than 100 centres in 23 countries.
