AmpSurf

Please join The Mission Continues Lowell Platoon and enjoy a day at Nahant Beach volunteering for the Learn To Surf AmpSurf Event Nearly two million men and women have served our country in Iraq and Afghanistan. They are coming home looking for ways to feel whole again and to fit back in to normal life. Whether they are an amputee, visually impaired, suffer from PTS (post traumatic stress), or have quadriplegia. Whether they served in WWII, Korea, Vietnam, the Gulf war, Iraq or Afghanistan. AmpSurf offers a unique program to bring the healing power of the ocean and adaptive surfing together for an experience that is both mentally and physically one of the best forms of rehabilitation on the planet. Volunteers look for the AmpSurf banners and tent when you arrive on the beach set up close to the bathhouse! Volunteers will be working on the beach and in the water if willing.
