Camphill Philosophy and History
The Plan In Colorado Providing Comprehensive Services Community Connections |
|
The Bringing Camphill to Colorado effort Is Welcomed With Open Arms The welcome mat in Larimer County came out early, and although the new life-sharing neighbors aren't operating the bakery that can deliver fresh-baked bread just yet, the relationship between The Bringing Camphill to Colorado effort and the larger community is well under way. Larimer County officials have been very supportive, and the CLCI community already feels an integral part of things. CLCI companions and co-workers will make great use of libraries, parks, open lands, swimming pools and trails and will participate in local art and cultural activities and Special Olympics events. And even as they enjoy services and programs that are provided for their use, members of the CLCI community will also contribute regular volunteer support to local food banks, nursing homes, the humane society and hospice as they take part in every aspect of community life with a capital "C," meaning that the connections between CLCI life-sharing homes and the surrounding towns are strong and run in both directions. It is very important that people have the largest and most inclusive experience possible, and this means working, recreating and serving in the surrounding areas. |

We wish for our children lives of integrity and joy, in a community where their individual special needs, health, personal safety and spiritual well-being will be understood and well cared for, and that they will experience true companionship and be guided to develop their full potential as they contribute to their community and society at large. --Statement from parent members of The Bringing Camphill to Colorado effort
