Saltash Mountain Outdoor Explorations
Saltash Mountain is a small camp where teens and campers explore backpacking, canoeing, rock climbing or service trips. Teens and campers learn to accept each other, celebrate themselves, and work cooperatively. Living together in open-sided cabins, they play guitar and piano. Carpentry, creative writing, gardening and other activities round out the summer.
