⭐ Hōkū Rising is back for Summer 2026⭐

We are looking for the next generation of rising stars.

Hōkū Rising is a summer camp by The Growing Ohana designed to develop teen leaders who make a real impact. Through hands-on activities, leadership training, community projects, and life skills workshops, youth ages 5–18 grow in confidence, build connections, and discover what it means to truly rise.

For Teens (Ages 13–18): Step into a leadership role. Mentor younger keiki, run camp activities, build your resume, and finish the summer with skills, credentials, and a community behind you. Teen Leadership Week (July 20–24) is the culminating experience of the summer — don't miss it.

For Keiki (Ages 5–12): Six weeks of learning, exploring, and growing through science, art, financial literacy, culture, and outdoor adventure — all led by teen mentors who look just like you.

Lead Yourself. Learn New Skills. Inspire Your Community.
