At Academia, we offer children’s programs that coincide with the summer and spring school breaks.
Academia Aloha Camp Overview
Academia Aloha Camp is an English learning program for children, organized by Academia Language School in Hawaii during summer (July–August) and spring (March) school breaks.
The program is divided into two age-based groups:
- Academia Aloha Camp – Kids Program: Ages 6–12
- Academia Aloha Camp – Junior Program: Ages 13–18
Both programs combine morning outdoor activities and afternoon classroom learning to create a fun, immersive English experience. The Kids Program features more time spent on field trips and outdoor learning, while the Junior Program focuses more on classroom-based English study and discussion.
Target Participants
The camp welcomes elementary, middle, and high school students aged 6–18 (younger children in kindergarten may be accepted upon consultation). Participants come from Japan, Korea, China, South America, and Eastern Europe, as well as local children from Hawaii, creating a truly international learning environment.
