Nā Pili Wai High School Spring Break Program
During Spring Break, high school students participate in our Nā Pili Wai program which gives them a peek into the ahupuaʻa system that contributes to a loko iʻa and introduces them to ways they can become resilient in their own communities. Haumāna explore and examine Loko ea, wai, and kai while learning and enveloping themselves in mālama ʻāina. Our focus will be on how we can enhance ourselves, our kaiāulu, and the spaces around us through fishpond restoration while enjoying Loko ea like no other, in the serenity of the evening as we take a deeper look into the space at night. Camping out to kilo (observe) things that don't happen during the day.
