Camp Ohana offers a traditional summer day camp experience for campers age 3 through 15! Throughout the summer, campers will have the opportunity to participate in various activities both in and outdoors. Relationships are a key piece of what makes summer day camp unforgettable which is why we focus on the three key drivers of impact that inspire healthy youth development journeys: achievement, relationships and belonging.
