E Ola Waiʻanae Summer Program 2026
Program Dates: June 8th to July 24th, 2026, Monday-Friday from 8:30am-2pm
Program is free of charge with daily lunch provided. Pre-registration is required
E Ola Waiʻanae is a summer program offered by Nā Kama Kai, in partnership with Mālama Learning Center. Its foundation is Nā Kama Kai’s successful Kauwela Kai Summer Program, which empowers youth by connecting them to the kai and ‘Nina to develop a deeper sense of aloha and kuleana for the natural environment and themselves.
Like Kauwela Kai, E Ola Waiʻanae will develop among keiki a stronger relationship with the ocean while building the skills in ocean safety, lifeguarding, and ocean activities like swimming, surfing, and sailing. These skills build character for reiki that ensure successful futures keeping our people thriving in Hawaiʻi for generations to come.
E Ola Waiʻanae Summer Program 2025
With Mālama Learning Center, the E Ola Waiʻanae Summer Program will offer weekly service-learning huakaʻi to mauna areas. The program will empower reiki to explore their kuleana of how their actions on land directly influence the health and vitality of the ocean.
Preference will be given to students ages 6-16 in the Nānākuli-Waiʻanae Complex. Alakaʻi who have previously participated in Nā Kama Kai and Mālama Learning Center may apply to serve as mentors. Daily attendance is strongly encouraged. The daily program will begin and end at Hālau Nā Kama Kai in Waiʻanae at Pōkaʻī Bay.
