Frequently asked questions

Do I need to bring a board, snorkel, or any equipment?

Nope! Just bring yourself, water, and sunscreen - we've got everything else covered.

Where are you located?

We're based in Palm Beach Gardens but host all of our events at Carlin Park in Jupiter - right on the beach!

Carlin Park is big — where exactly do I go?

Head to Carlin Park at 400 Jimmy Buffett Memorial Hwy, Jupiter. Park in the southern lot near the restrooms/showers, then walk across the street to beach access #60 - look for our tents on the beach!

Do you offer surf lessons?

We're a nonprofit aquatic therapy program...think of it as therapy in, on, and around the water! While our team includes certified surf instructors, our sessions are designed to support mental wellbeing through water-based activities including surfing, paddleboarding, boogie boarding, swim, & more!

Do I need any experience?

Not at all! All skill levels are welcome - our trained facilitators will guide you every step of the way.

Who is this event for?

Everyone! This session is open to all community members. We work with adults and teens experiencing anxiety, PTSD, substance use challenges, and more - but you don't need to be navigating any of those to join us. Experiencing the power of Blue Health is for everyone!

Is there a cost to attend?

A $50 donation is recommended to help sustain our program and expand access for others, but any amount is warmly welcomed. No one is turned away.

Who leads the session?

Waves of Wellness is led by licensed clinicians and supported by our aquatics team, including certified surf instructors and lifeguards — you're in good hands from the moment you arrive to the shoreside closing circle.
