This could range from making traditional leis to learning how to play the ukulele. These activities take place inside the cabins or right outside them.
Evening
6:00 PM: Dinner Time
Often featuring Hawaiian specialties like pasta, poke bowls, Kalua pulled pork, and of course, more fresh fruit, enjoying dinner together in our dining hall is something campers love the most. After a long day, it's the perfect time for campers to refuel and relax.
7:30 PM: Campfire and Storytelling
As the sun sets over the ocean, campers gather around the campfire to enjoy s'mores, skits, songs, and storytelling. This is also when campers and counselors share their experiences and highlights of the day. Local Hawaiian storytellers are often invited to share myths and legends of the islands.
