PHOTO GALLERY – Surf-Stand Up Paddle Camp Brings the “Beautifully Abled” Together

Photos by Christy Serpa ~ 

You might know of local Dana McGregor because of his three surfing goats, Pismo, Grover and Goatee.

What you might not know about Dana and his goats is that each year, they host camps to teach children about teamwork, surfing, soccer, and stand-up paddle boarding. 

Perhaps the most meaningful part of the “Surfing Goat Camp” is when they hold the special needs camp.  These kids have had difficulties in life; some have battled cancer, some are challenged developmentally.

Dana likes to refer to these kids as beautifully abled, and makes sure to acknowledge something special about each and every child.  For more information about his camps, visit surfinggoats.com.
