The spirit of unity is enhanced when these events are created with the primary purpose of “carrying the message” to other addicts. The annual Surf Camp, which began in 2009, promotes sportsmanship, support, unity, fellowship and healthy entertainment for the SCANA as well as inviting neighboring areas to participate in the event. In holding this event annually, the principles of the 12 traditions and the 12 concepts will be followed and applied by the trusted servants of this event.
