The Surfer's Healing Camp operates facilities in Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia Beach and California. Parents with an autistic son, who suffered from sensory disorder, founded the camp. Founder Israel Paskowitz was a competitive surfer, who discovered the soothing and joyful impact surfing had upon his young son. Common camp activities include getting comfortable in the ocean through one-on-one assistance from camp trainers and surfing for an afternoon. Campers can sit or stand on surfboards with a camp trainer on back or can advance to learning how to ride the waves on their own. Camps are hosted on weekends throughout the year at various locations.
