Stellar Gardens is excited to present our third year of summer programs. Building off of the previous summers' successes, we have learned and grown, kept some things, improved on others. 

​

This summer 2026, we will once again immerse in nature among Stellar Gardens' several acres of permaculture jungle in the Moloa'a area, while we cultivate mindfulness skills, learn cob building, play in the surrounding fresh water stream, tend to the bees with hands-on beekeeping, create beautiful art, play games, get muddy, dye clothes with plants, harvest food, cook over fire, shepherd the sheep, play charades and chess, paint a mural, beach days and whatever else the keiki inspire for this adventure!

​

We are three mentors, Jackson Nash, Melissa Nash and Yoni Rivers (see photos + bios below). Together we will host a group of up to 15 keiki ages 5 -12, with the intention that we will have activities for all ages as well as break into two smaller groups of older kids + younger kids if needed, to offer activities specific to each age group. Jackson will be the primary mentor Tuesday - Friday with Melissa and Yoni supporting two days each. 

​

While we know many families love to travel during the summer and go to other summer programs, we encourage each keiki to attend for the whole 7 week program. Many of the experiences build upon each other, and it's so wonderful for the children to be able to follow through with a whole project to completion. Of course if you aren't able to attend all 7 weeks, there will be countless activities that every child will love to do and will make lasting memories. 

​

Together, we are creating A Stellar Summer of friends, learning and fun! We are so excited to grow with you!
