#special needs

The 13th Annual Paddle Imua crowned its champions this Sunday, July 14 following a race down the famed Maliko Run off the north shore of Maui. Paddle Imua is a multi-discipline paddling race which, in the spirit of the Hawaiian word “Imua” (meaning ‘to move forward’), aims to raise funds for Imua Family Services’ Camp Imua program – a 48-year Maui tradition which provides a week-long recreational summer camp experience for children with special needs. 

The event raises vital funds for early childhood development programs and services that meet the diverse needs of Maui County’s children with disabilities and developmental delays.

The program is focused on facilitating health insurance enrollment for those who are uninsured or under insured.  The program has an emphasis on people from Micronesia, the Marshall Islands and Palau

A California man will be taking on the “Cycle to the Sun” course on Aug. 14 in an attempt to raise money and awareness for children with special needs.

Imua Family Services is currently hosting its 41st annual Camp Imua Program program, which began on Saturday, June 10th and concludes on Thursday, June 15th.

SkateMD hosts a free one-on-one skateboard clinic and experience at Lahaina Skate Park for kids with special needs between the ages of 5-17.

Imua Family Services celebrated the holidays with its Annual Keiki Holiday Party on Thursday, Dec. 15 at the Wailuku Community Center.
