Surf Camp
We hold a Surf Camp twice a year at Launiupoko Beach in Lahaina. There is something magical about the ocean for all of us and our children with special needs feel it too. During the day, we offer long boarding and canoe paddling for the whole family with volunteers who are trained watermen and women. So many times brothers and sisters have to “help out” or give up their own activities to accommodate their special needs sibling. Our intention with Surf Camp is to include the entire family in an activity that our special needs child can also enjoy. It is a fun time to share with families faced with similar stories. It is a time of understanding. A time free from uncomfortable stares, we grow accustomed to elsewhere in the community. A time to laugh and say, “We do that too!”Surf Camp Video: Play Video
