Adriana Arroyo looked fondly at her daughter as she played in the water near the Newport Dunes on Thursday morning.
A day before her sixth birthday, Eliana got a special treat. She was one of about 30 participants in the 10
th annual Miracles for Kids Surf & Paddle Summer Camp.
The surf part comes later, on Aug. 13 close to the Newport Beach Pier. Thursday was all about the paddleboard portion of the camp, which brings together children fighting life-threatening illnesses and their siblings for some fun in the sun.
