Camp staff are trained in youth supervision, safety procedures, and emergency response, and many hold CPR/First Aid certification. Staff are also EpiPen certified to respond to severe allergic reactions. In addition, they have backgrounds in education or science and receive training in hands-on STEM learning and culturally based Hawaiian education.

Staff are trained to address behavior concerns immediately using calm, age-appropriate interventions that promote respect, safety, and inclusion. Incidents are documented and communicated to families when needed. In more serious or repeated cases, additional steps may include parent contact or removal from the program to ensure a safe and supportive environment for everyone.

We welcome information about each child’s unique needs and encourage families to share this with us before camp begins. Parents or guardians can provide details during registration or contact our staff directly by email or phone. This helps us understand your child’s needs and prepare appropriate support to ensure a safe, inclusive, and positive camp experience.

We take allergies and dietary restrictions seriously. We are a nut-free camp, and families are still asked to share all relevant allergy and dietary information during registration or with staff before camp begins. We work to accommodate additional dietary needs whenever possible and take precautions to help ensure camper safety. Staff are also trained to respond appropriately to allergy-related concerns during camp activities.

We gently encourage participation while giving children space and time to adjust. If needed, we will contact families and work together to support the child’s comfort and well-
