Hawaii Summer Day Camps

When school is out of session children completing grades K-6th can enjoy seasonal programs full of fun and enrichment. Camp Kama‘aina Kids bring unforgettable experiences to sites across O‘ahu, Maui, and Hawai‘i Island. Our day camps are all about exploring, creating, and discovering the world around us, through hands-on, high-energy fun. Whether your child is building something new, trying something for the first time, or just laughing with friends, every week is packed with activities designed to spark curiosity and joy. A new adventure awaits each day, with on-site and off-site experiences that help kids connect, grow, and thrive — all in a safe, welcoming environment.

Activities include:

  • Arts & Crafts
  • Collaborative Games
  • Simple Science Projects
  • Team-Building Challenges
  • Active Outdoor Play
  • Exciting Experiential Excursions

Kama‘aina Kids School Age programs are all about building essential, real-world skills—such as communication, creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking—while having a seriously good time. Our staff knows how to turn everyday moments into something magical. If your child is ready to make new friends, learn new things, and have the best summer ever, then we’ve got just the place for you!

Program Eligibility

Our summer day camps are designed for Elementary School-Aged children. To participate a child must:

1. Be entering Grades 1 – 6 in the 2026-2027 school year, and 2. Have the ability to function safely within our 15:1 student to staff ratio and keep up with the group through the various program-related activities.

*Space is Limited

We do our best to remain flexible for our families to ensure your child has a safe and enriching summer. Registrations are accepted on a first-come, first-serve basis. Despite our efforts, there are instances in which a site must be capped at a certain capacity due to limited spacing or staff availability. To secure a space for your child at the location of your choice, we highly urge families to register as soon as possible. If you are waiting on the site calendar to make your weekly selections, then we strongly recommend that you at least register for the week(s) in which program is needed to secure your spot. Once a location and/or week reaches its maximum capacity, a waiting list will be made available in place of online registration.

A minimum of 15 registered children per week is needed by May 23, 2026, for a program location to operate.
