JOIN US IN HAWAII

Sziasztok!

We are running an overnight THANKSGIVING camp in Hawaii, focusing on Hungarian heritage. We are located right on the beach at Oahu's beautiful North Shore, just 60-minutes from Honolulu and the world-famous Waikiki Beach.

Our camp runs for 5 days and 4 nights - overnight camping in cabins for kids, as well as daily passes for families who just want to participate in our amazing cultural heritage program.

This year, we will focus on Hungary's different regions (Barangolas Szofival Magyarorszagon).

Children over the age of 6 can participate in the camp alone, with parental consent. Children under the age of 6 can attend the camp with their parents and join the PARENT CAMP.

Come join us and meet the Hawaiian Hungarians, and learn about Hungary. You'll learn about your heritage, meet charismatic coaches, eat delicious food, and participate many amazing camp activities that you won't find anywhere else - many of which are unique to Hungary.

Our camp is sponsored by the Külföldi Magyar Cserkészszövetség . We are welcoming amazing Hungarian dancers and musicians from California to help us with the program.
