Waipā Keiki Hō’ike

Waipa’s year-round fundraising efforts support its enriching summer keiki program, beautifully captured in this photo gallery. Here, you’ll see children from the community deepening their connection to both their culture and the land. Through hands-on activities at Waipa, they learn the language, traditions, and practices of their ancestors. The belief is that by fostering this connection at a young age, these keiki will grow up to protect and cherish the land for generations to come. Waipa encourages each child to embrace their identity and form a lasting bond with the environment. The gallery concludes with moments from hō’ike, where the children proudly showcase their newfound knowledge and skills, celebrating their journey with family, staff, and friends.
