Wave Riders Surf Camp
Wave Riders Surf Camps with Jacob's Chance offers two opportunities this summer to give youth and adults with developmental, intellectual, physical, and/or complex disabilities the chance to surf with qualified instructors.
Thanks to WRV Surf Shop for leading our camps!
Our time on the beach will be filled with surfing and family fun! Jacob's Chance will be providing a pizza party on the beach during and after surfing. Unfortunately, no gluten-free option will be provided. Families are expected to pack their own coolers with drinks and other snacks.
This is not a drop off event. Parent/guardians are expected to stay the entirety of surf camp.
​
*No rain dates will be scheduled, and no refunds will be offered if event is canceled due to inclement weather or unsafe water conditions*
We can't wait to surf with you!
Kayaking

Join Jacob's Chance, Beyond Boundaries, and our awesome volunteers for a day of kayaking! We'll spend the day on the water and use adaptive equipment that allows friends of all abilities to paddle! All equipment including personal flotation devices (PFDs) will be provided for participants!
Caregivers of participants under 13 years old are required to stay on-site for the duration of the program. We will not be able to provide any equipment to caregivers, though they are welcome to join us on the water with their own gear, or stay on shore! Personal flotation devices (PFDs) are required.
​
We ask families to only register for one trip to allow other participants the opportunity to go kayaking with us.
