After months of staying-at-home (due to the pandemic), NAC rekindled my son’s love of the outdoors and desire to care for the environment.
NAC instilled new knowledge regarding forests and wetlands – areas that we have not explored a lot of as a family. As we drove out of NAC, my son pointed out the different “levels” of the forest, which I think is a positive!
Our kids learn a lot in school, but it’s also good for them to come here and spend time with us too. And especially during these COVID times, it’s hard to find activities that are COVID-friendly and family-friendly.
My child was excited about getting dirty and wet. Normally, she is the total opposite. I think she had lots of fun learning in the outdoors which is so different than in a classroom all day.
My kids had so much fun they didn’t want to come home.
Great program enriching outdoor education and appreciation to our young keiki and next generation of conservationists; HNC team are “best-in-class” directors and educators which made our young sons feel seen and heard.
A day with Hawai‘i Nature Center is like a spa day on steroids. It’s so reinvigorating.
Hawai`i Nature Center meets DOE Science Standards. The kids love it too! It’s the best field trip of the year.
As a junior leader volunteer, I get to teach and inspire. My club loves to do service projects here too!
Nature Camp is such an amazing experience, providing kids with a much-needed break from screens and an alternative that is different from other options out there. Through engaging activities like hiking, wildlife exploration and nature crafts, kids develop a deeper connection with the natural world, fostering their creativity, resilience and appreciation for the environment.
Help us educate, celebrate and advocate for a stronger bond between people and nature.
