Time & Location

Kona Cloud Forest Sanctuary Forest Camp, 73-1865 Hao St, Kailua-Kona, HI 96740, USA

About the event

Experience the magic of deeply connecting with the natural world in a fun and inspiring way! Through nature mentoring, bird language, and mindfulness participants will learn about our island, the Cloud Forest, and the importance of protecting tropical ecosystems. Our Nature Mentors will also use a combination of outdoor educational philosophies, local knowledge, and place-based education to develop relationships with Hawaii's incredibly diverse plants, trees, birds, and animals. 


We will use inspirational ancestral wisdom and traditional mo'olelo (storytelling) to introduce the endemic, native plants, local wild edibles, and la'au lapa'au (healing plants) of the Cloud Forest. This immersion experience offers a beautiful opportunity to cultivate a sense of connection by sharing concepts of Aloha and Malama Aina (to love and respect the land). Lastly, we will discuss ways to incorporate these transformational practices into their daily lives to help them become confident and resilient in every environment.

"Thank you, Mariah, for providing such an immersive nature experience for my children. Through your camps, my children have developed skills, passion, and reverence for nature that they will carry with them far into the future. Your dedication to honoring Hawaiian culture and the gifts our elders have left us is inspiring, and I am profoundly grateful!" -Steve

"I can't say enough great things about our 'Journey into the Na'au'. My kids and I learned so much. Each day we began by asking the forest for permission to enter, and it was amazing how our ears and eyes opened up to seeing and hearing things that we hadn't noticed before. From identifying local medicinal plants and herbs, edible foods, learning how to make a 5 minute fire, climbing trees, knife safety, shelter building, Mariah was able to cater the camp to exactly what our family was interested in. Mariah has a deep knowledge of nature skills intertwined with the Hawaiian culture and it made for a beautiful and memorable experience that we won't forget. Thanks so much Mariah!!" - Beth Winder

The joy my son expresses on a Journey day is worth a hundred 5 star review. Mariah's ease with nature, children, and Hawaiian culture is organic. I am thankful for the lessons and teachings she shares, and the unique opportunity she provides to enhance my child's daily life through nature mentoring. (P.S. always send extra extra pants. For real!) - Anna
