Akalaka Day Camp

About Akalaka Day Camp

At Akahiao, we are dedicated to building a community of passionate, eco-conscious leaders who have the determination and abilities to create the world they hope to see. We want to inspire the next generation to take a stand against any environmental issues that arise, and to do more than just watch the future unfold without them. Our students will be like the Polynesian navigators, guiding their ships to the islands in the sea – they will be empowered to bring their ideal future into reality. At Akahiao, we are striving to create a community of knowledgeable and effective environmental champions. These leaders will have the commitment and the aptitude to manifest their vision of the future, no matter the odds. We want to equip our students with the tools to actively shape the world around them, instead of standing by as the future passes them by. Our students will be like the navigators of the ancient Polynesian islands, bravely sailing the seas to reach their destination – they will take the initiative to bring their dreams to life. At Akahiao, we are focused on nurturing an empowered group of ecological stewards. This cohort of young people will have the courage and the know-how to bring about the future they have imagined. They will be the first to stand up for our planet when it comes to facing difficult environmental issues. Instead of feeling powerless while watching the future tumble down the hill, our participants will take the lead and manifest their dreams into reality, just like the Polynesian navigators who discovered islands in the sea.

Akahiao Preschool

The preschool at ʻAkahiao Nature Institute is guided by the cultivation of two natures: the nature of our keiki with their individual strengths; and by the natural world where quality learning happens. We strive to develop a relationship of reciprocity and thankfulness between the two natures and among the keiki. Through guided exploration of the natural world, we believe our keiki will discover their innate sense of wonder and curiosity, enhance their physical aptitude and develop a strong sense of self in relation to this wonderful world. These benefits are long term and contribute to their development into global citizens who are curious, confident and environmentally conscious.
