Description

Teachers love Kalani's summer programs! Our summer sabbatical and volunteer programs are both great ways to take time away from your life back home, while immersing yourself in all that Hawai`i and Kalani have to offer.

Whether you have a book or project to explore, want to take time to discover who you truly are, or just want to relax and rejuvenate, you'll find a nourishing home at Kalani. You're likely to develop new friendships while on sabbatical here, with our international community of teachers and other extraordinary volunteers and guests.

* Live ALOHA. Learn about our Hawaiian land (horticulture, aquaponics, garden) and culture (Hawaiian language, lauhala weaving, hula, huna, lei making)

* Invigorate your health and well-being with access to over 40 yoga and wellness classes, and the inclusion of one massage/aqua treatment per week. Renew and relax at our 25-meter pool, two spas, sauna, and weight room. Discover nearby beach options and adventures in our island's state and national parks.

* Enjoy a vibrant community life while dining with your international `ohana (extended family) of residents and visitors. Socialize with `ohana night activities, volunteer excursions, and special events. Support and enjoy the Kalani sustainable agricultural and botanical splendor.

Highlights
