 “Warabi Ashibi” is an Okinawan term meaning “children at play.” The spirit of this theme has governed the Hawaii United Okinawa Association’s Okinawan Cultural Summer Day Camp Program for Kids. Developed in 1996, the program is designed to teach children about the Okinawan culture and heritage in a fun learning atmosphere. Campers (children from the ages of 8 to 13) are introduced to Okinawan history, dance, language, drumming, martial arts, crafts, flower arrangement, cooking and plantation games. Projects are designed to provide a hands-on fun and educational experience for the participants. Special events are sometimes planned including excursions, family days and sleepovers. First established by the Hawaii United Okinawa
Association for Oahu, the program is now offered statewide with the
assistance from neighbor island HUOA member clubs and a financial grant
from the State of  |
