“Ma ka hana ka ike” means “through working one learns”.
Waipa is a living learning center that hosts organized groups from Hawaii and beyond that are interested in contributing to the work at Waipa, and learning about the Hawaiian culture and environment-and the relationships between the two-through hands-on experience.
We especially welcome the opportunity to host Hawaiian cultural groups and classes from schools and other educational organizations on field trips and for regular programming.
Waipa also welcomes volunteers at our weekly Poi Day, on monthly Ohana Days, and on other days by previous appointment.
On vacation? Come visit us on Tuesdays at our farmers market!
Please note: Groups that visit Waipa are willing to work hard and get dirty, are excited about learning and having new experiences. A sliding fee scale is employed, please inquire via email and phone about scheduling and cost.
Mahalo! (Get directions.)
