Ohana Summer Vacation Recap: A Week of Fun, Laughter, and Family

June 26, 2024

This summer, our Ohana family embarked on a truly special adventure at Campland on the Bay in San Diego, bringing together over 250 foster youth for an unforgettable vacation experience. The week was filled with joy, laughter, and the creation of lifelong memories, all made possible by the incredible support of our community.

Our days started with the excitement of the beach, where our youth and members played in the waves, built towering sandcastles, and enjoyed the warmth of the San Diego sun. The beach became a playground for fun and relaxation, offering a perfect start to each day.

One of the highlights of the trip was our visit to Belmont Park. The youth and members experienced the thrill of the rides, played fun games, and enjoyed the classic amusement park atmosphere. The smiles and laughter were contagious as everyone immersed themselves in the joyous activities.

As the sun set, the fun continued with lively talent shows and energetic dance parties. The talent shows were a testament to the incredible abilities of our youth, as they sang, danced, and performed with enthusiasm. The dance parties brought everyone together, creating bonds and memories that truly made us feel like one big Ohana.

This amazing week would not have been possible without the generosity of our supporters. Your donations and support have made a significant impact, allowing us to provide these life-changing experiences for foster youth and adults with special needs. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to each and every one of you who contributed to making this trip a reality.
