It’s Kids Night Out! (AKA Parent’s Date Night!)
Winter Hawaiian Luau Party 🌴
We are off to Maui to view the Sunrise on the top of Mount Haleakala and then take a bike trip down the side of the volcano! Bicycles on the road and down a volcano makes for some cra-zy fast biking! Feels like you are on a motor bike. Teams will build a twisty, windy road to send their biker tourists down watching out for velocity, friction, and a safe landing. This is sure to be an epic adventure with new friends!
In our unplugged programs, kids experience all aspects of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) AND have opportunity to develop their Life Skills in Communication, Collaboration, Critical & Creative Thinking, Flexibility, Sociability, Initiative, Leadership, and Perseverance Through Difficulty. At Challenge Island, we are dedicated to ensuring a brighter future for our kids and our communities by helping you prepare your child to succeed in the 21st century.
