Surfers Healing Folly Beach

Here at Surfers Healing, our mission is to enrich the lives of people living with autism by exposing them to the unique experience of surfing.

We're the original surf camp for children with autism, and we offer all our events free of charge.

We take kids with autism surfing. We paddle out together on tandem boards to catch the waves that come our way. That's what we do; that's what we love.

On the surface, our contribution seems simple: each year, our volunteer-staffed camps give children with autism and their families a fun, engaging day at the beach.

But go deeper, and you'll see that a quiet revolution is taking place. Through the simple act of riding waves together, we're defying the status quo.

When we help kids get up on a board, we're challenging preconceived notions of capability. When we encourage participants to dive in, we're empowering them to engage with the world. And when we ride the waves together, we're affirming that every person is a gift.
