Apply to Ho‘omāka‘ika‘i

Ho‘omāka‘ika‘i is a one-week program for students that will be entering the 6th grade. The program engages students in hands-on learning activities focused on cultural values and practices to develop Hawaiian identity and leadership.

• Due to COVID-19 safety precautions, boarding will NOT be provided for the summer 2022 Ho‘omāka‘ika‘i program. Instead, our program will operate as a week-long day program with in person, community based learning days.
• Programs will run on the islands of Kaua‘i, O‘ahu, Moloka‘i, Maui, and Hawai‘i island. Students will be assigned to in-person, community-based learning, on the island in which they reside. Students living outside of these five islands will be asked in the application which island program they plan to attend and are responsible for providing their own air transportation and boarding for the program or have the option of participating in this program entirely via digital learning (no in-person learning). Note: We do feel that the in person program will provide valuable learning for your keiki and cannot be replicated in a digital learning format. Please select the full digital version only if you are truly unable to travel due to the current circumstances.
• Bus transportation will be provided for in-person, community-based learning days. Please note, there will be no bus transportation to or from Hana.
