We are excited to offer the 2026 summer a fun and enriching program that invites keiki to learn through hands-on experiences rooted in Hawaiian cultural practices and traditions. Through activities such as lei making, hula, moʻolelo (storytelling), arts and crafts, and exploring and preparing traditional foods, keiki will discover Nā Mea Hawaiʻi in meaningful and engaging ways.
Kawaiahaʻo Church School’s Kula Kauwela nurtures curiosity and creativity while incorporating ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi (Hawaiian language) and Hawaiian values. Learning takes place in a safe and engaging indoor–outdoor environment where keiki can move, imagine, and grow.
