Sixteen middle and high school youth on Molokai participated in Maui Economic Opportunity’s Kamp Kaohi on April 7 and 8 at Molokai Baptist Church.

The overnight gathering was run by MEO Youth Services staff on Molokai and Maui. It was the first camp for MEO’s year-old Kaohi youth program on Molokai.

Activities at the camp focused on tobacco/vaping, bullying, underage drinking and teen suicide prevention with informational, team building and fun activities.

The goal of the camp was to build youth leaders in their school and community for the prevention of harmful behaviors. The camp also was an opportunity to recruit youth for the Kaohi after-school and spring- and summer-break programs.
