Pardon us while we work to revise all of our educational activities.
We are adapting all activities to accommodate home school and virtual learning options.

Key Strategy in Action: Nā Hopena Ā`o (HĀ) – teaching and learning. ​
We humbly acknowledge that we have a lot to learn and have a responsibility to share what we learn with our community.
Our lessons offer a means to integrate the D.O.E HĀ into learning at every age:  a goal of the D.O.E. 2030 Promise Plan and a goal of HOH808​

Help us grow the next generation of `Ewa Leaders!

These activities were created for implementation with student or teacher leaders in a rotation at Kapapapuhi Point Park.
Most activities are easily adaptable to other sites, including school campuses and backyards.
We invite you to modify these lessons to best serve your group and are available for limited consultation to help you
​customize curriculum.
Our small educational staff is available for classroom visits and can help train staff and/or student leaders.
