Our students' Biography Retreat 2025

We cherish the tradition of hosting a Biography Retreat for our College 3 students during their Summer term. This is a meaningful experience, offering them time to reflect on their personal journeys and strengthen their connections with one another.

Founded in 1970, The Mount Camphill Community is a specialist residential and day college in Wadhurst, East Sussex offering a craft-based education for students aged 16-25, as well as a pioneering cohousing supported-living community for people with and without additional needs.

Story

In May, five students along with four co-workers will embark on a five-day retreat, celebrating the end of their third college year. This special time away in a holiday cottage in Dorset, allows them to process their achievements, challenges, and aspirations in a supportive and reflective environment, marking a significant milestone in their educational and personal development. It is a time for self-discovery and growth, as they look back on their experiences and prepare for what lies ahead.

To make this experience possible, we need to raise £3,000!

One of our key fundraising events to raise money towards the cost, will be a sponsored walk at Bewl Water on April 25th, when our students will walk alongside the co-housers. We will aim to walk up to six miles around part of the reservoir. While the walk will be a shared experience, all funds raised on this page will go towards our Biography Retreat.

Every donation, whatever amount, will help provide these students with an unforgettable opportunity for reflection, connection, and personal growth. As in previous years, all students and their families from different cohorts put their efforts into supporting the group who will attend this year’s retreat, who in turn will support them in subsequent years. It is a real social experience!

Your support and encouragement mean the world to us!

Messages left with your donations will be shared with the walkers on the day to keep them motivated.

Thank you for being part of this journey! 💙
