Hawaii Wilderness would like to thank all the people who have believed in us and supported us over the years.  We have tried to create the business that we would love to work for.  It’s hard to distinguish where the Hawaii Wilderness family ends and the business begins.  Our founder’s best memories as a kid were family trips to Florida’s rivers and Georgia’s mountains.  Today, there’s nothing like loading up the car to take the family exploring the best of Hawaii.  We’re happy to pass on the love of the outdoors to the next generation.  Our course instructors strive to treat everyone that passes through our program like family.

Our Mission

We consider our program to be a success when we:

  • Encourage environmental stewardship in future leaders. 

 

  • Benefit the community through service and cultural understanding. 

 

  • Inspire our students to become better people. 

 

 

Safety

At Hawaii Wilderness, student safety is our first consideration in running a quality program.  As a result of our high safety standards:

  • All of our instructors are trained in Red Cross CPR / First Aid

 

  • We have preplanned for "what if" scenarios. 

 

  • We always carry an extensive First Aid Kit.

 

  •  Students are under 100% Qualified Supervision

 

 

Business Practices

How we approach every course:

  • Our groups are small, with a max of 12 students and 2 instructors per course.
     

 

  • To provide opportunities for personal growth, this is a student run program.  The students lead, teach each other, cook, clean,  make group decisions, etc. 

 

  • This is not a rehab program.  Although our camps encourage leadership and teamwork, we are not trained to handle  emotional/behavioral problems or addictions.  

 

  •   This is not a survival school.  The students eat healthy, abundant meals and have all necessary gear.  

 

  • Our instructors are well versed in local facts to share with our students: history, culture, current issues, flora and fauna, etc. 
     
  • We keep our gear in clean, working condition.

 

  • We keep an educational focus.
      

 

  • Our employees are frequently trained and tested on field practices and safety procedures.  They're well compensated  to keep them energetic, enthusiastic, and safe. 

 

 Standards

We believe that high moral standards contribute to a more uplifting and positive experience for all.

  • Drugs, alcohol, and tobacco are strictly forbidden on course for students and instructors. 

 

  • Sleeping arrangements are single gender only. 

 

  • Clean and positive language is strongly encouraged.

 

  • We will not allow poor behavior from one student diminish the group experience.
