Hawaii Preparatory Academy (HPA) Summer Outdoor Program is for students grades 8-12. The Summer Outdoor Program offers students a rare opportunity to experience some of Hawai'i's most beautiful, remote, and memorable land and seascapes, while participating in service learning programs with local non-profit environmental organizations. This 21-day program is a transformational adventure for students to challenge themselves physically and mentally with guidance and support from HPA's enthusiastic and experienced professional leaders. The program creates a unique space for young men and women to marry academics and fieldwork together, while learning about Hawai'i's rich history and culture. Activities will include multiple backpacking destinations to pristine valleys and beaches, active water sports in a variety of ecosystems, and working with environmental organizations to regenerate native habitats in isolated preserves.
