AmpSurf/VetSurf - Rockaway Warriors Weekend, July 9-12th, Breezy Point

We will be providing a 2 day Learn to Surf Clinics for the "wounded warriors" as part of the Rockaway Warriors Weekend . Veterans will be coming with Hope for the Warriors, so interested participants are encouraged to register with Hope for the Warriors to participate. Volunteers are needed all days of the event, but inwater instruction will only be on the 11th and 12th. 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.

Thank you for your interest in helping us share the healing power of the ocean and adaptive surfing with our participants. Volunteering can be a very rewarding experience and these clinics are not possible without your help in order to be adequately staffed.

As we get closer to the date of the clinic you signed up for, we will send updates. Please be sure to arrive on time and expect to have one of the greatest experiences of your life.
