Six wooden picnic tables overlooking the stream. A refrigerator to store the cake and drinks. Sinks for handwashing. Areas for kids to run around and play. The teacher guide Pauline was so patient. Pauline was there to help with taking kids on a hike, craft making activities and a trip to the river for fishing. The small hike was manageable. Craft making was a way for kids to be creative. Fishing for krill and toads was a way for the kids to burn excess energy. Bring sunscreen and lotsa bug repellent! Such a fun event outdoors and a learning experience even for the adults!

Though we liked coming here at first, things deteriorated quickly…read more From instructors being stoned while teaching/coaching to an inability to communicate with parents except via email and not in person or on the phone to ridiculous make up and refund policies that encourage parents to bring sick keiki to camp and weekly classes. Likewise, I tried cancelling multiple times as they had a 30-day cancel policy only to be told I hadn't cancelled. Now I realize that its because so many parents before me have been unhappy hence their need to make so many one-sided policies. If they provided a good service they wouldn't need to entrap you or your kids, because they would have enough new students looking to enroll. As they said themselves "If you're unhappy with our policies, there's several other gyms on island you could check out to see if their policies better align with your needs." Better to go elsewhere. Parents beware. -- Response to their response: 5 missed classes and trying to placate me by offering me classes I don't want because of said coach, when I all I asked for was one parents night out in exchange. Your staff all clearly know who is stoned; all the keiki even know. Finally, holding a space for 3-5 months try more like 3-5 weeks. Again, this could have been a better dialogue in person or over the phone, but instead it was via email and now they are dishing over yelp. Like I said before better go elsewhere, parents beware.

Initially I heard of this from a Yelp event that I didn't end up going but I ended up signing up anyway! Thanks to Yelp and the CM for introducing this fun activity to some Yelp elites. Coach Javier and other coaches / assistant coaches are amazing! They're all very engaging and fun, and funny lol. I very much enjoy watching my son with the other chickenheads running around on the field! #iykyk I can't verify but another mom told me the coach and some if not all assistants are professional soccer players, so it's not like they just grab a random college kid and put them to coaching. We meet every Saturday at the Ma'ema'e school. There's another location toward east near Aina Haina. It's a nice big field that has occasional short showers but it's never heavy heavy rain, at least so far in the season. It's our first time so initially we didn't extend the season with the extra 5 lessons into December. But after seeing how our son enjoys it tremendously, extending is a no brainer! Good job coaches! The kids are happy to have you!

They treat all the kids fairly with no one getting left out. They encourage everyone to participate and if a child's attention is diverted from the activity then the coach calls the child by name and pulls them back in. Small colorful cones are set up to learn ball control. Larger nets are positioned for kids to kick the balls into. Coach creates fun games which are challenging but with a sense of lightness. The head coaches are clearly professionals and knowledgeable about the sport. At the end each child is gifted a small treat which makes it even better to top off a fun workout.

She surfs, she swims and dives with confidence. We have a boat and are in the open ocean frequently. I enrolled her in YMCA swim lessons level 4 to fine tune technical swim strokes. My experience-she was one of 2 students. She finished and was assessed yesterday and was marked as not meeting any benchmarks to level up to the next class. Problem with student? Or problem with instructor. I witnessed a lot of supervised play, sharks and minnows, cannon balls..$300 for 6 sessions. I don't and won't recommend or refer. Kids teaching kids.

I have been looking for an art class for my son. My co-worker found this place on IG. She sent me…read morethe profile. I looked through all their post. I knew my son would love this place. I showed him the posts and he told me to sign him up right away. You have to register and pay online through their site. The Art and Tech Sunday Day Camp is perfect for our schedule. The hours are from 9AM-4PM. You can do full or half day. We need a little rest on Sunday's so the 1PM-4PM works out well for us. I'm glad I left a little earlier from Kaneohe to find their location. GPS takes you right there but there is on signage for OAT. I didn't know it was upstairs from all the restaurants. I called the number they have listed on yelp and they let us know to go up stairs. Two of the teachers greeted us at the door. They showed us around and explained what they were going to learn. His first art lesson was with Andy Lee. He is an artist for Marvel, Dragon Ball Z, etc. He was teaching Chinese brush strokes. My son jumped right in and started using the brush. After 2 hours of Art class he went to Tech class where he learned to make a vacuum out of a water bottle , card board and batteries. Yesterday day was his 2nd Sunday and he learned 3D pen art and how to construct a mini elevator/lift. He loves everything about OAT. They also give them a little time to play with big building blocks and robotic toys. He wants me to leave him there from 9AM-4PM so he can learn more. Maybe next session. I'm glad I found this place!!! I'll keep updating and posting vids and pics.
