Last summer marked the sixth season of the NJ WAVE, a recreational program for children who require ventilator assistance or who have tracheostomies. Between June 21 and June 24, 2007 children enjoyed the sights, sounds, and activities of the New Jersey Shore. It was a time for these children to be independent from their famlies and caregivers, and an important step towards growing up. But most of all it was FUN!!!
 
They splashed in the waves on the beach and built sand castles. They ate on the board walk. They visited Cape May Zoo.  There was a big cook out and Party and much more. We look forward to seeing everyone next year!

Our Mission

NJ WAVE was created to facilitate new friendships among children on ventilators, enhance their group interaction, and promote networking with role models. Children have the opportunity to participate in exciting outdoor activities such as the boardwalk, beach, boating, and the zoo.

A medical staff accompanies the kids, providing medical care and rehabilitation support throughout the week. The staff includes pediatric pulmonologists, respiratory care practitioners, registered nurses, licensed practicing nurses, occupational therapists, speech-language pathologists, therapeutic specialists and child life specialists. Many staff members volunteer their time and expertise.
