Camphill Communities Host Cycling Event for a Worthy Cause

Camphill communities in Chester County will host the fifth annual Camphill Challenge cycling event on Sunday, October 16.

Camphill Special School, Camphill Village Kimberton Hills, and Camphill Soltane provide life sharing and educational opportunities for children, youth, and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. In just five years the Challenge has grown from twelve cyclists to over 300!

The bike ride begins and ends at Kimberton Waldorf School in Kimberton this year and offers 50, 25, and 10-mile courses for all ages and ability levels.

Bring the family! The Family Fun Ride will take riders to Beaver Farm, a working farm with livestock that is part of Camphill Special School.  Cyclists will travel through Chester County during peak autumn foliage with beautiful views of horse farms, historic homes, and covered bridges. A picnic and live music will end the day.

Proceeds of the Camphill Challenge benefit the three Camphill communities in Chester County.

For more information about the Camphill Challenge, to register for the ride, or become a sponsor, contact Bernadette Kovaleski at 610-935-8660, Bernadette@camphillkimberton.org or visit camphillchallenge.org.
