Our guiding philosophy is to ensure that children grow and learn in an atmosphere of warmth, freedom, togetherness and security. At Wekeela there are no A or B or C teams for activities. If your child wants to try something, we encourage learning new skills while having fun.
Each day at Wekeela is a custom-made ticket to fun and adventure. Campers establish individual schedules based on our daily activity schedule. All campers participate in required and elective programs with their bunk and their division. Some activities are separated by gender based on space at the activity area. Some activities (such as Instructional Swim) are for Kids Campers only. An example of a typical Wekeela schedule can be seen below:

Camper schedules are derived from programs in seven developmental areas: landsports, watersports, outdoor adventure, waterski, culinary arts, creative arts, and performing arts. Cutting across all campers’ schedules are individual options relating to horseback riding, Asian cooking, ice-skating, golf and inter-camp and outdoor adventure trips.
The purpose of instructional programs is to help campers learn skills and competence in a program area. Campers who crave competition have numerous opportunities to test their skills in team and individual sports. Wekeela offers extensive competition via the inter-camp tournaments. At all times, Wekeela emphasizes sportsmanship, fair play and enjoying the experience.
