Raising a child with autism presents a unique set of challenges with regard to obtaining appropriate services, including adequate after school care and opportunities for social interaction.
We provide help for children and families with autism. Services include after school care, Saturday recreation and more. AFSNJ holds the largest gathering of autism families in NJ each year at the Annual Autism Beach Bash in Belmar.
The AFSNJ Annual Autism Beach Bash is held each summer on the 14th Ave. beach in Belmar, NJ and features a surf camp with Surfer’s Healing, a California based nonprofit specializing in working with children with special needs.
Join us on September 13th, 2026.

Today, we honor the courage, service, and sacrifice of our nation’s veterans. Their commitment to protecting our freedoms inspires the work we do every day at the Family Resource Network.
We are dedicated to supporting veterans with disabilities, older veterans, and the caregivers who stand beside them. Our programs connect families to the resources, guidance, and community they need to navigate every step of their journey.
To every veteran and every family who has served in their own way, thank you. You are making a difference, and we are proud to stand with you. ...

It’s hard to believe it’s already been one week since more than 1,000 people gathered in Belmar for what so many call the best day of the year. Families describe the surf experience with @surfershealing as nothing short of transformative, while music from DJs on the spectrum lifted spirits and people connected under the resource tent to find vital support and services. For many, the memories made on the waves and the sand will last long after the sun sets.
Autism Family Services of New Jersey works year-round to make this day possible, but we still need your help to reach our goal. Your support ensures this unique gathering continues for families living with autism to breathe easier, celebrate freely, and feel the comfort of true belonging.
Donate today, start a fundraiser, or share this post to help keep Beach Bash free for families in 2026.
