The Institute for the Study and Practice of Nonviolence in Providence, RI, arranged for a three-day surfing camp to get a number of at-risk Providence teens away from the city’s streets. Some of the camp’s participants have been gang members, others have juvenile records, and still others have never been in trouble but are deemed to be at-risk because of lack of family support or mentors.
