Mission
Camphill Soltane provides an inclusive setting for achieving creative development, social engagement, & meaningful employment for adults with intellectual differences and the broader community so that all may find fulfillment.
Our Work
For nearly 40 years, Camphill Soltane has been committed to helping adults with intellectual differences write the next chapter of their story after high school. We believe that graduation shouldn’t be the end of opportunity so when many families are left asking, “What’s next?” we provide a clear path forward. Recognizing the limited opportunities, support, & learning gaps after high school ends, Camphill Soltane creates meaningful pathways for continued growth through creative courses, career exploration, meaningful employment, and social connection in Soltane Arts, Soltane Cafe, Soltane Horticulture, & Soltane Hospitality. Our goal is to cultivate an inclusive community where each person can discover their potential and build a purpose-driven life.
Our Pathways of Opportunity
Meaningful Employment | Creative Development | Social Engagement | Career Exploration
These pathways enable a person to unlock their potential, advocate for themselves, develop creative skills, encourage a healthy mind and body, explore their passions, and kickstart career ambitions. These pathways may be entered into at any point filling a person’s day, and their life, with purpose, belonging, and joy.

Our Why
When high school ends, adults with intellectual differences face endless lifelong barriers to accessible educational opportunities, fulfilling employment, creative development, & rich social inclusion. We believe that true inclusion does not divide based on a diagnosis, & a truly inclusive community is one that integrates those who identify as having a disability alongside those who do not. Therefore, Camphill Soltane advocates for creating an integrated environment for all people.

It is our hope that, together, we may build and inspire a community centered around curating lifelong purpose and personal development in social, educational, and creative spheres.
