Surf City Haiti 2020

Every June now, for the last nine years, we have taken a team to Haiti to co-run a one-week camp called Surf City Haiti. Surf City Haiti provides fantastic opportunities for American students to serve with older Haitian students and run a fun summer camp. For the past three years, we've worked with a core group of student-leaders from EBAC to plan camp. We hoped to empower these student-leaders to plan camp all on their own one day. While we were heartbroken when we canceled our plans for Surf City Haiti this summer, these young leaders stepped up and planned a fantastic experience for their peers and the younger kids!

Because of your prayerful support and faithful giving, we could send a little extra money to ensure that Surf City Haiti still happened, even in our absence. Watching the highlight video on the last night of camp is a tradition, and we were grinning ear to ear when our friends in Haiti sent us the official 2020 Surf City Haiti camp highlight video. Take a look at what you made possible!

Fun facts

  • Surf City Haiti was planned and led by older Haitian students this year.

  • Each day of camp, the students got a delicious hot meal of rice, beans, chicken, beet salad, and fried plantains cooked by the women at IDADEE and EBAC.

  • All of the activities were held outside and rotated daily between the IDADEE and EBAC campuses to promote healthy social distancing.

  • Michaelson , a student at EBAC, hand-made all of the Surf City shirts this year. Talk about limited edition!
