The Kamehameha Middle School hula club, Hui ‘Ōiwi, held its annual hula retreat at Camp Homelani this weekend. I was blessed to have been a chaperone for the second year in a row. My role was to serve and protect (well…. drive the van and prep snacks.) We had a blast.

Kumu Joy and the girls worked hard in preparing for their upcoming performance. They had two evening practices, two morning practices, and an afternoon practice.

There was some free time at Waialua Beach, fronting the camp site. We had great weather all weekend long. I lucked out with my own private bathroom and air conditioning!

Last night we had a crab hunt at the beach and made smores over a ridiculously, scorching “bonfire” (campfire.) Good times….

Mahalo to Joy and Nicole. You can catch Hui ‘Ōiwi at the Spring Fling on Saturday, May 5th, at 5:30pm in the elementary courtyard.
