The goal is to develop a well-rounded fitness routine that supports long-term health, injury prevention, and personal progress.

In the SPROUTS summer course, you’ll get your hands dirty while discovering how the ahupuaʻa system sustains life from the mountains to the sea. You’ll spend time outdoors learning why this traditional system of land management is so important and how to grow your own plants. This hands-on experience is all about increasing your connection to the ʻāina and understanding your role in its future. By the end of the program, you’ll bring home your own plants—designed to thrive in a yard or on a lanai—so you can continue to care for the land wherever you live!

Get ready to dive into the ocean... No swimming required! In this hands-on course, students will explore the many parts that make up the ocean, from plankton and coral reefs to waves and currents. They’ll investigate real-world issues and see how the ocean affects life on Earth, while building critical thinking, problem-solving, and scientific reasoning skills. Students will learn to think like scientists by asking questions, analyzing evidence, and exploring new ideas. Curiosity is your only requirement, everything else is discovery!
