City Kids hosts Surf Camp for Boston youth at Hampton Beach
City Realty Group, provides surfing assistance to Jason Nunes of Dorchester
and the Cape Verdean Association, during the City Kids Surf Camp at Hampton Beach.
Hampton, NH City Kids, a youth education non-profit created by City Realty Group managing partners Fred Starikov and Stephen Whalen, hosted a Surf Camp for youth from the Cape Verdean Association of Boston (CVAB), giving them a special day at Hampton Beach. City Realty Group’s managing partner Stephen Whalen, chief technology officer Jerry Wycoco and director of project development Josh Fetterman taught teens from CVAB the basics of surfing in partnership with Cinnamon Rainbows Surf Co. instructors.
City Kids created the Surf Camp to give Boston kids a chance to learn and explore new activities that take them beyond the city to the great outdoors. Surf Camp has given multiple youth groups the opportunity to learn how to surf and experience the waves Hampton Beach has to offer. Participants in Surf Camp also enjoyed time on the beach playing catch and eating pizza. City Realty’s vice president of leasing Kristi Martorana played a major role in making it a fun day for the teens whether they were on a surf board or soaking up some sun laying in the sand.
“This is the first time these kids have ever surfed before. It is important for them to have the opportunity to try new things and learn skills that wouldn’t be available to them in the city” Stephen Whalen said. “I love surfing, I have been surfing all my life so I was really excited to come out today and share this experience with the Cape Verdean Association”.
The Cape Verdean Association of Boston (CVAB), located at 242 Bowdoin Street in Dorchester, has been operating since 2000 with the mission of promoting the power and the potential of the Cape Verdean community.
