Join us at the beach sharing the power of Adaptive Surf Therapy for People with Disabilities, Veterans & First Responders.
About this Event

We will be hosting a 2 day Learn to Surf Clinics for Veterans as part of the Rockaway Warriors Weekend . Veterans will be coming with Hope for the Warriors, so veterans are encouraged to register with Hope for the Warriors to participate. Volunteers are needed all three days of the event, but inwater instruction will only be on the 12th and 13th.
More detailed information for volunteers can be found below. We will need Instructors, Water assist, Beach support, Booth help and more.
AmpSurf’s mission is to Promote, Inspire, Educate, and Rehabilitate (PIER™) all people with disabilities and their families through adaptive surfing and other outdoor activities to keep them focused on their abilities, not their disabilities.
