ANI Immersion Programs

Children today are facing major environmental challenges and an ever accelerating pace of life. When it is their time to face the consequences of  the previous generations, we like to think they will stand for our planet and change our human story to one of compassion and stewardship of Mother Earth. Yet, research has shown that they are spending less time than ever outdoors, and are given barely any time to build that intimate relationship with nature.

At Akahiao, we have designed our programs to bring people away from the everyday hustle and bustle into a reflective space of action and of collective creativity.  Our mission is to foster a loving relationship between humanity and Mother Earth.

Mo ʻIke Camp Dreamweaver

ANIʻs overnight youth program in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. day. The camp theme is “mōʻike” or dream manifestation. In this time of restrictions and confinement, being able to dream outside of our daily routine is ever more valuable. We want our youth to be inspired to dream of a thriving future and empower them to know they can achieve it.
