Camp Imua is a five day sleep over camp and reaches 50-52 campers and 200 volunteers, make this happen.

Students from around the world fly over to make this happen, thank you amazing people!

    The video was really cool. And I think that all the kids really enjoy that camp.
    Some day I would like to come and be a counselor there. Thatʻs a good dream.

    Wow. Raven and her blonde friend have on twinsie outfits. Is that a regular fashion statement of theirs? Short shorts and boots? LOL about boots on Maui. Raven is definitely Nanaʻs granddaughter!

    I would have wanted to buy lots of hugs to support Camp Imua.
