High Spirit springs from the work of Camphill and is dedicated to social renewal through community building with children, youth, and adults who have developmental disabilities. In a time where many are experiencing a crisis of spirit and search for meaning, Camphill offers a life of celebration, service, and community building in which all participants flourish.

Camphill is a worldwide movement dedicated to community living that supports and values the contributions of all community participants without regard to their financial assets, or their intellectual or physical capabilities. Camphill communities have taken up many tasks. Among the most prominent in North American communities are:
- Provide education, advocacy, therapeutic care and other services to support people with special needs and help them participate fully in the world as contributing citizens.
- Care for and heal the earth through sustainable and healthy methods of consumption, agriculture, and natural resource use; and
- Create new social arrangements that nurture the growth and development of individuals and families.
