Camphill Open Day next Sunday

Camphill Dunshane are holding an open day on Sunday June 26th from 2pm to 5pm, writes Caroline McCabe. We would like to invite members of the local community to join us for a day of fun, with Face Painting, Sheep Race, Wheelbarrow Race, Treasure Hunt, Games, Raffles, Food from different parts of the world and of course Ice Cream.

Camphill Communities of Ireland is part of an international charitable trust working with people with intellectual disabilities and other kinds of special needs.

In Camphill our residents share their home, spiritual and working lives with those who are motivated to meet others as individuals needing support and recognition for what they are, and not as carer and cared for in the conventional sense. Most of the people providing support to those with disabilities are volunteers, coming locally or from abroad. Camphill is a way of life, where each person according to ability contributes what they can towards the well-being of the other.

You can find us by driving out the Kilcullen Road from Naas, take the turn for Dunlavin on the left, turn immediately left again (100yards), pass GAA field on your right and keep driving to bottom of road. At T-Junction, turn right and we are the 3rd entrance on the left. There is a big stone engraved with Camphill Dunshane outside the entrance.
