Mana O Maui opens Teen Camp scholarship applications

Mana O Maui is now accepting scholarship applications from girls between the ages of 13-17 to attend  an upcoming Teen Surf Camp, hosted by Maui Surfer Girls, from June 27 to July 3, 2026. Mana O Maui is a nonprofit organization launched in 2023  to provide empowerment programs through Hawaiian cultural education,  adventure education, surf therapy and the healing arts.

The scholarship is open to teens who are in need of financial aid to  attend the overnight camp. The scholarship funds will cover the full cost of the camp tuition ($2,900) plus taxes and fees. Priority will be  given to teens that were impacted by the 2023 fires or the March 2026  storms. The deadline to apply is April 15 and recipients will be  notified by May 1. Interested teens can apply at this link:  https://manaomaui.org/events/girls-scholarship

Donations are also being accepted through the website https://manaomaui.org with the goal to fund four full scholarships to  the camp.

Maui Surfer Girls’ teen summer camp is dedicated to empowering teenage  girls through Maui’s water sports, unique camp programming and strong mentorship program. Beyond the daily surf lessons, activities may include Hawaiian cultural activities such as lei making or hula,  snorkeling and hiking. Teens from all around the country attend the camp, and the scholarship program makes it possible for teens to join the program, who might not be able to attend otherwise.

In 2026, Maui Surfer Girls is offering two weeks of Teen Camp, with Week 1 (June 20-26) already sold out. There are a limited number of regular paid spaces available in Week 2, with discounts available for alumni campers and Hawaiʻi residents.
