You will experience a new culture while immersing yourself in our summer camp activities with your camp buddy and jr. leader. You will have the opportunity to choose your own camp buddy or two while partnering with a jr. leader to actively guide them through the camp curriculum filled with games, crafts, reading time, and more. This allows you to bond with your buddy, mentor a jr. leader, learn all about their lives, and share your experiences with them.
All our children come from extreme poverty stricken situations. Some are homeless, living in cars and tents; some are just getting back on their feet, moving into a home. None of these children would be able to experience this wonderful summer camp without your sponsorship and support.
You will be come "best buds" for the duration of the summer activities which will allow your buddy to gain self-esteem while you experience life-changing moments.
You are making the difference to help change THEIR world for the better.

The teens day will be filled with the joy of preparing a healthy lunch for the homeless children and spend the afternoons participating in a variety of activities. Due the extreme unstableness of the homeless on O'ahu, teens experiences will vary. Our agency has started a Teen Outreach to homeless unaccompanied minors, we have adopted a pre-school with 56 homeless families, etc. There is so many ways to be the change these children need!
Teens will also shop for, fill and distribute the school supplies to their camp buddies before their departure.
Teens will be actively working on the graduation ceremony for their camp buddies at the end of camp. Graduation is a very important step in the child's life. They will receive their new backpacks filled with school supplies, new outfit and shoes to start their new year off ready to learn. All their siblings will also receive the same. The graduation ceremony will give the teens the opportunity to show off their new found Hawaiian talents.

While teens are participating in this program they will be working with the jr. leaders and helping them to gain their self esteem and help with social skills. This program is designed to help the middle school aged campers be prepared to not just "survive" middle school, but to thrive. To learn social skills to form friendships, to learn skills to participate in school based sports or activities. The teens will gain a their own inner self leadership skills while working one on one with the youth.
While on tour teens will explore the islands, surf, hike waterfalls, enjoy beach days, zip lining, learning cultural skills including helping the homeless to be more self sufficient by making fish boxes, learning to fish, and canning foods.
