Camp Auxilium is a Summer Adventure for Girls 6–14 that can be attended as a day camp or a residential camp. Camp Auxilium is run by the Salesian Sisters with the support of camp counselors who are in high school and college. Camp is offered in a Catholic setting that includes daily Mass, the rosary, and a Good News message each day.
Mary Help of Christians Youth Center was established on the hillside property, and the campus includes four multipurpose cabins, a kitchen, a cafeteria, basketball and tennis courts, a swimming pool, and a playfield. Salesian Elementary and Junior High School is a TK-8 private Catholic elementary and junior high school working cooperatively with the Diocese of Monterey and is founded in the charism of Saint John Bosco and the spirit of Saint Mary Mazzarello. The school states that it embodies the Salesian philosophy of reason, religion, and loving kindness as taught by Saint John Bosco and Saint Mary Mazzarello, and describes itself as a home, a school, a church, and a playground following the tradition of Saint John Bosco. The school reports that it creates a family spirit of joy and friendliness coupled with a firm resolve that students demonstrate personal responsibility, discipline, academic potential, and respect towards all of God’s creation, and that it nurtures the religious, moral, academic, cultural, social, and physical development of each child. The school also states that, through comprehensive instruction, high academic standards, and implementation of the Common CORE Standards, students develop an internal curiosity for learning and that, by building Gospel values, global awareness, and a sense of belonging to the parish, neighborhood, local civic community, and the world, it fulfills Don Bosco’s dream of forming the young to be good Christians and honest citizens.
2018 marked Salesian’s 40th year since opening its doors to the young on its hillside campus. The Salesian Sisters came into being in 1872 in Mornese, a mountain village of northern Italy, and the first four Salesian Sisters arrived in the United States in 1908 in New York. In 1975 the Salesian Sisters of St. John Bosco owned and occupied the historic Sesnon-Porter home in Aptos, where they ran a high school for candidates and a summer camp. In 1976 the Salesian Sisters transformed their hillside property with the construction of four multipurpose cabins, a kitchen, a cafeteria, basketball and tennis courts, a swimming pool, and a playfield, and a summer camp started, and Mary Help of Christians Youth Center was established. It was decided to have a K–8 school, and Salesian Sisters School, later renamed Salesian Elementary and Junior High School, opened its doors to students on September 1, 1978. The school began its 30th year of existence in 2008–2009 and celebrated its 40th anniversary on February 2, 2019.
Salesian Elementary and Junior High School works cooperatively with the Diocese of Monterey, and a relationship with the descendants of Joseph and Mary Enos continues. In 2016 Salesian received an Ocean Guardian Project Grant, and students proposed and carried out conservation projects; based on these efforts, Salesian was officially recognized as an Ocean Guardian School in 2017.
