Week 1: Deep Discoveries | This week is sold out.

Join the Hawai’i Nature Center as we dive into ocean depths. We’ll shed light on everything from the twilight zone to the ocean floor, discovering the habitats and animals that live there! Through crafts and hands-on activities, we’ll learn how we are connected to these remote ecosystems and what we can do to protect them.

Week 2: Cosmic Connections | After-Care available – $40 per day – 3:00pm-5:00pm

Launch your curiosity into the stars as we explore the relationship between outer space and life on earth. We’ll learn how people and nocturnal animals have learned to navigate using the night sky and how the moon influences tides and helps us keep track of time. Discover all the ways Hawai’i is a special place for nature and space through outdoor exploration and games.

CANCELLATION POLICY  We reserve the right to cancel if minimum enrollment is not met. In this rare case, we will contact you as soon as possible and refund the program cost. If you cancel within 7 days of the first day of each camp, enrollment is non-refundable for any reason. If you need to cancel your registration for any reason, email us as soon as possible. Camps are non-transferable and cannot be resold or exchanged. Cancellation fee policy does not apply to scholarship recipients registering for Nature Adventure Camp.

REFUND POLICY  With at least seven-days notice prior to the program’s start, we will refund your tuition. A $50 cancellation fee per child per week and administrative processing fees will be charged. Memberships purchased during enrollment are considered tax-deductible donations and non-refundable.

THIRD-PARTY REGISTRATION POLICY  Hawai’i Nature Center does not accept third-party registrations on behalf of other friends or family–the registering child’s parent or guardian must be the individual to complete and submit all registration information. If we determine that a third party has completed your child’s registration, your registration will be cancelled and we will refund your tuition. A $50 cancellation fee per child per week and administrative processing fees will be charged.

COVID-19 SAFETY  Keeping children, families and our staff safe is our highest priority.  Health and safety measures are in place to keep participants safe. Modifications include smaller group size to accommodate social distancing. We’ve added six feet of social distancing in our seating arrangements. Masks must be worn inside and on field trip buses. More frequent and easier-to-monitor hand washing is required. Frequent disinfecting of surfaces and high traffic areas are performed. Since our programs are outdoors, we have lots of room to spread out and enjoy the fresh air while exploring nature.

Summer 2024: Hawaiian Habitats

Our main theme this summer, Hawaiian Habitats, will take us on an island-wide exploration of four different ecosystems: forests, wetlands, coastlines, and streams. Each week, we will feature a place representing one of these four ecosystems. We will learn about that specific place and the science and culture behind it, then visit it on our field trip so we can experience everything we’ve learned. Locations will rotate throughout the summer but will likely include: Mānoa Cliff Trail, Judd Trail, Hāmakua Marsh, Hūnānāniho, Moanalua Valley Trail, Maunalua Bay, and more.
*We will not be swimming during any part of these weeks … but we will get wet and muddy!*
