In addition, the students of Ka Papa Kai, MPW’s marine science for youth program, will be sharing what they have been learning in the tide pools.

Ka Papa Kai Students Visit the Waikiki Aquarium
The students of Ka Papa Kai, MPW's Marine Science for Youth program, visited the Waikiki Aquarium this weekend and had a blast as they learned about unique and rare marine species. For many of the children, it was their first time visiting the aquarium and they were very excited to see all the fish and other cool creatures.

"The jellyfish are awesome!" said one student, and "I've never been so close to a monk seal before." said another.

This field trip was made possible by a generous grant from the State Farm Youth Advisory Board.

For more information about the Ka Papa Kai program, contact Jenny Yagodich, Director of Educational Programs at jenny@pupukeawaimea.org.


We Have Switched to Summer Hours!
As the days get longer and the sun gets brighter, we would like to let you all know that we have shifted to our summer hours.

Please stop by and visit us at our community outreach tent at Shark's Cove each Saturday from 8:00am - 4:00pm.

We will return to our shorter, winter hours on Saturday, October 5th.
