Surf Camp for Special Needs Kids

Surf Camp registration opens Saturday, May 14, 2022 at 8AM! Check back to sign up!

Every summer, Surfing Madonna Oceans Project hosts an incredible surf camp for kids with special needs. This year we will be at Oceanside - south of the pier, and possibly South Ponto in Carlsbad if sand conditions improve, you will be notified of any changes. This program, which is completely free to all participants, is an opportunity for these youths to build their self-confidence as they learn a new skill and have fun! Participants receive one-on-one surf instruction at these camps which take place June through August. For many of the children, surfing is a dream they never thought possible for them. Realizing this dream can be life changing.
