Community Service
Embrace the spirit of giving back as you adapt to Maui’s ever-changing needs. While this program will evolve to address island challenges, your openness to make a meaningful difference will create lasting memories and impact. Potential projects include removal of invasive plant species, land management and indigenous plant workshops, and the possibility to help Maui and its residents rebuild after the destruction of the 2023 fires.
Immersive Learning
You’ll hear straight from the experts about issues affecting local populations such as climate change, indigenous land rights, and conservation of endemic species. Learn about the preservation and history of plant species important to Hawaii and its precious ecosystem. You’ll also learn about customs such as hula dancing and lei-making. You may even have a chance to harvest the materials to make your own lei!
Finally, finish your amazing time in Hawaii with a traditional Polynesian Luau where you will taste some of the most famous dishes of Hawaii and enjoy an evening of dancing and storytelling.
Adventure
Journey along the world-famous Road to Hana, a wild and scenic route along the island’s rugged east coast — stop along the way to explore lush gardens and remote waterfalls. With more than 30 miles of beaches to choose from, the island is the perfect place to try your hand at surfing or observe brightly colored fish while snorkeling. Take in Hawaii’s breathtaking landscape and natural beauty from a new perspective: from the water, while you enjoy a catamaran ride on the deep blue Pacific. Then cool off with a cup of shave ice, a favorite island treat.
Lodging
Home Base is a set of comfortable, modest, ocean front A-frame cabins in a beautiful, camp-like atmosphere with a shared bathroom area. On the day-to-day, meals are healthy and balanced and will consist primarily of typical American fare (sandwiches, salads, pastas, chicken, etc.) We will also have the opportunity to sample more traditional Hawaiian cuisine and local produce.
