Surfers Healing Provides Memorable Day For Special Needs Families In Ocean City

OCEAN CITY — Surfers Healing returned to Ocean City today, providing a day-long surfing camp and a lifetime of memories for kids with special needs and their families.

Surfers Healing is a national organization featuring teams of surfers traveling to coastal communities all over the country to provide a day of surfing for kids with autism and other special needs. While the event is all about surfers riding waves in tandem with young kids with special needs, it is really a day for the kids and their families to just enjoy the beach with other families facing the same challenges.

The event was held on Wednesday on the beach at 37th Street in front of the Castle in the Sand Hotel. Dozens of surfers helped hundreds of kids with special needs enjoy the ocean and the exhilaration riding a wave the calming influence of the sea. About 220 families signed up for the Surfers Healing event on Wednesday, an event that sold out in about five minutes.

    SO refreshing to finally hear one of the many good stories from Ocean City, instead of always hearing about a handful of idiots (in a town of 350,000) that do stupid things. Thanks for posting, Joe.
