Hawaiian Heritage
Jun 23 - 27, 2025
9AM-3PM
Concept
Join us for a fun and exciting journey into Native Hawaiian Cultural Arts! In this hands-on workshop, kids explore the rich traditions of Hawaii as they create and design art projects inspired by Hawaiian culture. We learn the art of lei making, create beautiful patterns, and even build our own traditional instruments. Along the way, students pick up some basic Hawaiian words and discover the deep cultural meaning of Mālama ‘Āina—caring for the land and our connection to nature. Through ceramics, painting, and more, we experience the beauty of Hawaiian traditions while having fun!

From flowing rivers and twisting roads to flying machines and spinning surprises, each day brings a new adventure. We’ll sculpt clay boats, build tunnels, fly hand-crafted kites, and create mesmerizing zoetropes. Using Ozobots, topographic maps, recycled treasures, and vibrant paints, we’ll invent whimsical machines and kinetic creations. Through sculpture, collage, and playful invention, we’ll turn movement into magic. At the end of the week, we’ll celebrate with a special gallery show featuring all our action-packed artworks!
