Amy Hopkins, of Saltwater Mountain Company, will give "an invigorating and inspiring presentation" about the cold dipping experience and its incredible benefits, on Thursday, Oct. 10, at 6:30 p.m., at the Camden Public Library. Bathing suits not necessary!

Amy Hopkins will share her story that led to the creation of Saltwater Mountain Company –– a business that highlights the science and magic of cold-water dipping and its timely impact on women’s empowerment, mental health and community.

Imagine swapping the familiar hum of the classroom for the rustle of leaves and the salty sea breeze. I spent my summer hiking through spruce-fir forests, exploring active tide pools, and boating on green waters in search of bald eagles, harbor seals, and black guillemots. As an Acadia Teacher Fellow, this became my reality.

Supported by the Friends of Acadia, I was one of six teachers from across the U.S. selected for this unique experience. While the other fellows hailed from diverse regions, I was the only participant from Maine. 

UPDATE: This story has been updated to include comments from Town Manager Audra Caler.
