Gilgo Beach, New YorkÂ
Everyone should have the opportunity to feel the energy of the waves and the spirit of the ocean surrounded by a positive community while hanging ten. Challenger Athletics for 4 years now has presented the Challenger Surf Camp that brings kids of all ages and abilities into the water for a day full of fun and sun!
The mission of Challenger is to provide memorable experiences for individuals with learning and physical disabilities that limit their abilities to participate in most mainstream sports. As this is our most popular event with limited capacity we ask that when registering please keep this mission in mind and not include siblings or relatives. Acceptance of application does not mean acceptance into the event. All accepted participates will receive a welcome to surf camp email in a upcoming weeks.
I was honored to be the in-water photographer capturing all the great moments of the day. Whether its an athlete catching their first wave, a surf instructor paddling their heart out, a volunteer catching a board, a lifeguard keeping a watchful eye or a friend or family member cheering and clapping, this was a day that brings an entire community to a family.

Thank you to Challenger Athletics for having me out to be a part of and capture that action!Â
