On May 22, Miss Katie and Miss Ashley’s 4th grade and Miss Amy’s 5th grade learners set out on the first overnight adventure for Alaka`i O Kaua’i learners.
After three days and two nights at Kokee’s Discovery Center, they returned to campus renewed with stronger relationships and a clearer vision of their role as Alaka`i leaders. Uncle Billy DeCosta led them through a series of activities designed to challenge not only the learners, but the facilitators and chaperones as well, to reflect and improve themselves by listening, responding thoughtfully, and believing in their own abilities.
Also, there are comments from a few more of our learners who attended the Koke`e Camp Field Trip:
Josh Martin
Cheyanne Favors
“I just loved how boys and girls were playing with each other. It felt really good!”
Desmond Martinez
“I felt free and was able to do what I wanted to do. It was enjoyable!”
