Veteran Surf Program
At Waves of Impact, we believe deeply in the healing power of the ocean. Our veteran surf camps are designed to create a safe, uplifting, and empowering space where wounded veterans can experience the joy of riding waves, connect with nature, and rediscover strength through camaraderie and community.
Surfing has a way of clearing the mind and lifting the spirit. One veteran shared, “When I’m out there, all I’m thinking about is catching the next wave. My mind is clear and all the things heavy on my mind were left on the beach.” This simple act of riding waves becomes a powerful tool for resilience, growth, and renewal.
We are honored to partner with organizations such as Team Semper Fi and the Wounded Warrior Project’s Beach Bash, whose missions align with ours in serving those who have served us. Each collaboration provides unique opportunities to connect with veterans and their families, whether through adaptive surf instruction, shared ocean experiences, or simply spending time together in an environment that fosters healing and joy.
Our purpose is simple yet profound: to honor and support our veterans by sharing the transformative energy of the ocean. Every wave caught and every smile shared represents more than a moment of fun, it’s a step toward recovery, reconnection, and hope.
Together, we celebrate strength, unity, and the powerful reminder that the ocean welcomes us all.
As a nonprofit organization, we rely on the generosity of our community to keep these experiences alive and growing. Each donation, big or small, helps us reach more veterans, expand our programs, and continue offering these meaningful moments of healing at no cost to participants.
