Surf Camp


“ From the Sand to the Surf”

ACES, inc. and Pure Vibes Special Needs Therapeutic Surf Instruction presents Surf Camp, an eight-week program designed to promote positive social interactions and gross motor development for children with special needs. Surf Camp is a unique and comprehensive program developed by two Master’s level supervisors and a licensed occupational therapist. Surf Camp meets once a week for three hours where children will engage in age -appropriate gross motor / fine motor / sensory activities, small group crafts, games and discussion relating to beach and ocean themes. During group activities, children will be assisted by two trained behavioral tutors and a Master’s level supervisor to aid the children in engaging in social interactions with one another.

In addition to group activities, each child will receive one-on-one special needs therapeutic surf instruction from Richard Sutera, a special educator with 20 plus years of ocean experience and currently holds a certification in infant, child and adult/AED First Aid and CPR. One-on-one surf instruction is customized for all ages and disabilities to promote coordination, strength, balance, gross/fine motor control, and sensory integration.
