✨Girl Scouts of Hawai'i - Camp Paumalū✨
Girl Scouts of Hawaiʻi operates three camps across the state—Camp Paumalū on Oʻahu, Camp Kilohana on Hawaiʻi Island, and Camp Piʻiholo on Maui—providing girls with year-round opportunities to build confidence, leadership, and a connection to nature.
At the heart of the program is the STEM Center for Excellence at Camp Paumalū, a state-of-the-art campus on Oʻahu's North Shore offering hands-on learning in cybersecurity, robotics, coding, astronomy, environmental science, and more. Through partnerships with organizations including NASA, the SETI Institute, Raytheon, and Palo Alto Networks, girls learn directly from industry professionals.
Camp experiences also integrate Hawaiian culture, weaving the values of aloha through chant, hula, music, arts, and cultural practices alongside STEM education. Girl Scouts of Hawaiʻi envisions Camp Paumalū as an international destination for youth leadership and STEM learning. Ultimately, camp is where girls learn by doing, developing the skills, confidence, and character to lead in their communities and beyond.
