Without Walls (WOW)
Hands-on Workshops

Being that we have no walls up yet, our community programs run under the “WOW” (WithOut Walls) banner and center on developing skills and knowledge in sustainability from mauka to makai (mountains to ocean), and on building a greater appreciation for the connection between nature and the arts. WOW hands-on workshops are open to children and adults and families are encouraged to come together. Mahalo nui loa to Hawaiian Electric Company for being the title sponsor of WOW workshops in 2010 - 2012 and Kapolei High School for its in-kind support!  Because of them, we can make the workshops very affordable.

See our blog for past WOW workshops.

Below are upcoming workshop descriptions. Please note that registration for all workshops is REQUIREDWe cannot accommodate walk-ins.
