#Keʻanae

The County’s newly established East Maui Water Authority (EMWA) and its regional advisory board, ʻAha Wai o Maui Hikina, invite community members to a series of free public events focused on watershed and water resource planning.

Camp Imua is a week-long overnight summer camp that pairs children with special needs with youth volunteers (ages 16–21) for a week of unforgettable activities—beach outings, helicopter rides, horseback riding, dance parties and more.

Gina Young was sworn in Wednesday as the first director of the East Maui Regional Water Authority. The Maui County Council voted Oct. 25 to approve her appointment to the position, following her unanimous selection by the East Maui Regional Community Board or ʻAha Wai o Maui Hikina Regional Community Board.

A Maui man suffered injuries while surfing in Keʻanae on Tuesday afternoon. Crews from the Maui Fire Department’s Air 1 and Rescue 10 responded to the report of the surfer who was injured and on shore, but unable to walk. The 44-year-old resident was airlifted from shore and medevaced to the Maui Memorial Medical Center for further treatment.
