Hawaiian Inside Tracking Project Hawaii
U'i Camp for Girls Led by Brother Noland

March 15 - March 17, 2010


An outdoor overnight experience connecting girls with the natural environment, tracking and indigenous knowledge.

Hawaiian InsideAbout the Experience
Using nature and the outdoors as the teacher, the U‘i Camp  provides girls with the opportunity to make contact with the ocean, the land, and the natural world around them. Through hands-on experiences, camp participants will learn about the science and art of tracking, the indigenous native method of using all of your intelligences in a multi-dimensional way. Self-awareness, personal development, cultural and nature awareness, and survival skills are cultivated as a part of this unique and rare opportunity that connects contemporary girls with traditional teachings and knowledge.

did you know?

In 1927, Dr. Theodore Richards, former Principal of Kamehameha Schools, envisioned a community center where people of all races could come together as "one blood" or "kokokahi".  In a time when it was the custom for communities to be segregated by race, Kokokahi was an unprecedented effort to breakdown racial barriers.  The YWCA national committment to eliminating racism is in close harmony with Dr. Richard's vision and ensures our programs and services are inclusive and mindful of the dignity of others.
