Papahana Puakahīnano offers keiki and ʻōpio a meaningful opportunity to strengthen their connection to ʻāina through hands-on learning rooted in STEAM education, traditional Hawaiian practices, and community engagement. Participants will take part in wahi pana exploration, restoration, and stewardship of ʻāina and loko iʻa ecosystems at Kaumaui, Honokea Loko (Keaukaha), and Hilo One.
Program Attendance Commitment Statement:
Due to limited program capacity, families who enroll their keiki are expected to commit to full participation for the entire week of the program. Consistent attendance is essential to ensure equitable access for all participants. Failure to comply with this attendance commitment may jeopardize eligibility for future program enrollment.
Our Program Coordinator, Nāhōkū Kahana (puakahinano@huihooleimaluo.com), will follow up with ʻohana and confirm participant placement within two weeks of registration.
Mahalo nui,
Hui Hoʻoleimaluō
