The Camphill Foundation UK & Ireland | Sponsors of the International Camphill Youth Conference 2026

The International Camphill Youth Conference returns this year from 28th – 31st May, hosted by The Mount Camphill Community in Wadhurst, East Sussex.

We are delighted to announce that this year’s conference is sponsored by The Camphill Foundation UK & Ireland.

The Youth Conference has a well-established history spanning back to the 1970s. Over the years, these conferences have fostered lasting friendships and a strong sense of connection between individuals and communities around the world. It is an important event that continues to strengthen the network of people surrounding the Camphill Movement and inspires a new generation to engage with its values and shape its future.

This year’s theme, “Michaelic Youth: Connection, Courage, Belonging” reflects the spirit of The Mount where the presence of the Archangel Michael is deeply felt, not only with the statue on top of their hall but in their daily lives as a vibrant, youthful community, living, learning, and working together. The conference will explore how qualities such as boldness, bravery, discovery and community can inspire and inform everyday life.

Tickets for this year’s conference are now sold out but we look forward to sharing participants’ experiences and outcomes in due course as well as announcing plans for the 2027 conference.
