The moment-to-moment, hour-to-hour, piece-by-piece of our program has been mindfully created and is carefully curated. We move from low energy to high, individual pieces, paired activities, team events to all camp pieces; music is specifically chosen, volume precise. All these elements follow the natural breath of the day.

Our current director, Jeannette Macaluso, was a camper herself and is now back along with her two children who are graduates and now leaders. In July of 2023 our camp had 15 legacy campers and leaders, bringing forth the next generation of leaders in our community.
In 2000 we were blessed with a license to use Kamehame Ridge Site from the Kamehameha Schools Princess Pauahi Bishop Estate. We sit atop the ridge between Hawai'i Kai and Waimanalo on 4 acres with over 10,000 sq ft under roof.

We also have little libraries with books for new reading adventures.
"I am so thankful for everything that camp has taught me. It has helped me grow as a person to become the best version of myself that I can be. It taught me that with hard work I can accomplish anything. Camp has inspired me to continually help my community and the world. Thank you so much for making such a big impact on my life!" — Talia Abrams, Graduate and Former Leader
My daughter went to camp reluctantly the first time and came out loving it! I knew the moment that I saw her face at Family Day that it had had a huge impact on her! Ever since, she has insisted on attending every camp and as many Super Saturdays as possible. She feels a strong connection to the community and experiences at Winners' Camp. Her stepping into leadership has been completely self-directed! Winners' Camp is an exceptional opportunity for teens to learn about personal growth, self-confidence, study habits and life tools and how to apply them early in life.
