after school activities at the maui farm

What do we do after school?
» We become caretakers of the ‘aina
» We beautify the campus
» We take field trips
» We learn skills, values, about new things and have fun

The After School Activities Program provides a variety of "hands on" activities that include "homework time" for every child attending school. The children and youth learn to care and interact with the plants and animals. There are arts, crafts, recreation and other outdoor activities to engage in while having lots of fun together.

Taking Care of Our ‘Aina – Malama ‘Aina

Learning to be good stewards is an important value at The Maui Farm and teaching our participants how good stewards behave happens through a variety of "hands-on" activities outdoors.

Our Colorful Nursery

The Maui Farm’s nursery is home for a variety of herbs, vegetables, plants, trees and flowers. Part of the excitement of the nursery is the opportunity for every individual residing on the farm to learn the basic skills in gardening and start growing what they want to eat or care for (flowers, herbs, plants or vegetables). The maintenance and care for the nursery involves learning and applying a variety of skills and working together as a community. The nursery supplies and replenishes our community garden that feeds us.

Our Prosperous Garden

The garden is a happy place for everyone to gather.  Talking story, telling jokes, sharing recipes, sharing ourselves is the way we interact when we need to prepare, till, tend and maintain the community garden.  Designing the garden, preparing the earth, planting, maintaining and harvesting our produce grown in the garden are used as metaphors for what is happening in our own lives.


Off-Campus Field Trips

“We live on Maui!” We are all blessed to live on the beautiful island of Maui that is famous for nature’s beauty. We enjoy exploring and learning more about our island on the field trips.

Recreation
Our bodies require action and movement. Families play together as they enjoy a rousing game of dodge ball, scavenger hunt, kick ball and more.

Arts & Crafts

Holidays are special to everyone here at The Maui Farm.  Arts and crafts activities are one of the favorite things everyone does at the farm.  Arts and crafts activities are a way to celebrate the holidays as well as express our creativity and that includes making gifts for family and friends.
