Teach your keiki this fun song🎶🎶🎶

This is a cumulative song, which means you've gotta keep track of a bunch of stuff and it gets more challenging the further you go. ;-)It's a traditional App...

Needed this gentle reminder today!

Hau’oli La Ho’omaika’i to you and yours!

This past year has really allowed us the time and space to appreciate the people we truly care about, and to reflect on the incredible experiences we have shared at WinnersCamp together since 1985. We may be distanced from each other but our hearts are close! I'm thankful YOU are in my life and I wish you great health, for that is our greatest wealth! 🙏
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
We know many of you are wondering how WinnersCamp is adapting to these times. We are staying positive and we are resilient!!! Our mission to bring our leadership programs to teens and their families is MUCH bigger than any pandemic could ever be!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
We have EXCITING PROJECTS on the horizon: we recently were awarded a significant grant to support us in keeping the camp in excellence. In the coming months, we will be fixing the roofs and upgrading all of the bathrooms at camp!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Winners’ Camp extends to your Ohana ten times over a big MAHALO during this season of Thanksgiving. Have a blessed to be a blessing day and pray for peace and well-being. We really are Global Citizens of Planet Earth - amene!

Malama pono,
Ohana Mama Delorese 🙏

Are we living lives worthy of this gift that we have been given? This journey has been made more tolerable for we have learned and embraced that ‘this to shall pass’.🙏🏽
🌺🌺🌺
As we bow our heads we lift our hearts in praise of you, our Heavenly Father, Father Sky, Mother Earth and all those who came before us, our ancestors...we thank you for the Sacrifice of your Son so that we may all be forgiven and lead a life blessed with His Guidance. Help us with our Keauhou, our New Beginnings.

Aloha to all our Winners’ Camp Ohana

Winners' Camp Foundation is in the first stage of partnering with Mark Turansky of New Horizons Counseling.

We will be producing programs for teens to overcome addictions.

If you are an adult with challenges that you want to overcome, Mark is conducting a program this weekend and has two openings. If you've been struggling with dropping behaviors that do not serve you, Mark is offering Winners' Camp Ohana a partial scholarship to his treatment camp.

Give him a call at 808 484 1000 and he'll talk with you personally about how to CHANGE and start a new life! JUST DO IT; you will be forever grateful for your newfound freedom!

A million mahalos to the exceptional families who hosted our recent Hiroshima Students. Our host families really showed the true meaning of ALOHA by opening their hearts and homes to these young students. The students returned to Japan with so much gratitude for the experiences they shared with their host families and there were more than a few tears when it was time to say "a hui hou".
