Join the Family Resource Network for the New Jersey Autism Beach Bash. This will be one of the best days of the year for thousands of families across the state.
Held at 14th Avenue Beach in Belmar, this free autism-friendly event brings together more than 3,000 attendees for a one-of-a-kind day of community and connection along the Jersey Shore. Last year, 150 individuals with autism rode the waves with Surfers Healing, building confidence and creating lasting memories with every ride.
It will be a full day of surf, music, sunshine, and good vibes at New Jersey’s largest autism-friendly beach event.
Surfer Registration will be announced son.
The Surfing Experience in Belmar, NJ
At the heart of Autism Beach Bash New Jersey is our long-time partner, Surfers Healing, the original surf camp for children with autism founded in 1996.
For more than 25 years, Surfers Healing has introduced thousands of children to the ocean through volunteer-led surf camps nationwide, including right here on the Jersey Shore.
For many participants, surfing provides:
A calming sensory experience
Increased confidence
A sense of freedom and accomplishment
A moment where ability takes center stage
Funds raised through Autism Beach Bash New Jersey support critical services across the state, including:
After-school programs
Respite care for families
