About:

More than 20 Long Beach students enjoyed a day of sun, sand, and surfing during the Surfers Healing Surf Camp held at Lido West Town Beach in Lido Beach on September 10. Long Beach High School’s Life Skills Program has enjoyed participating in the event annually, and this year, East School children from the Special Education Program were excited to join them.

Members of the high school surf team supported the participants, leading warm-up activities on the beach and handing out medals and high-fives to the accomplished surf students. After fitting the students for life jackets, Surfers Healing instructors took their pupils out on longboards and into the sea, where the waves were calm and possibilities were endless. Many of the students had surfed previously and were not at all hesitant to stand up on the boards and ride back in to shore, where staff members and parents were cheering them on.

Surfers Healing seeks to enhance the lives of children and teens with special needs, specifically those with autism. The combination of this organization’s stellar team and the ocean’s therapeutic effect has been making a difference in the lives of its participants for fifteen years. The Lido Beach event was one of many one-day Surfers Healing camps held across the nation, and was organized in partnership with the Town of Hempstead.
