YWCA Kokokahi is excited to announce the launch of our Camping Program, now open for small pilot groups as we thoughtfully roll out this offering in Summer 2026. Nestled in the natural beauty of Kāneʻohe Bay, Kokokahi provides a unique and peaceful setting for groups seeking connection, reflection, and meaningful shared experiences.

As part of this pilot phase, we are intentionally welcoming a limited number of groups to help us refine the program and ensure a high-quality experience aligned with our mission to gather, grow, and restore well-being.

Currently Accepting the Following Groups:

  • Nonprofit organizations

  • Educational and youth development programs

  • Cultural, environmental, and place-based learning groups

  • Women’s groups and family-centered retreats

  • Mission-aligned community organizations and partners

At this time, all camping groups must demonstrate alignment with YWCA Oʻahu’s values, including fostering health, empowerment, leadership, and community connection. Priority is given to groups that incorporate structured programming, cultural respect, and a commitment to mālama ʻāina (care for the land).

Pilot Program Experience Includes:

  • Access to Kokokahi’s outdoor camping spaces and scenic grounds

  • Opportunities for group programming, reflection, and community-building

  • Proximity to the bay and natural resources for educational and cultural activities

  • A supportive environment guided by YWCA Kokokahi staff during the pilot phase

As we continue to grow this program, feedback from our pilot groups will play a key role in shaping future offerings, amenities, and policies.

We extend our heartfelt mahalo to our very first retreat and camping participants:

  • The Contentment Foundation

  • Polynesian Cultural Center – Hawaiian Navigation Program
