Ikaika Retreat 2026

Kona, HawaiŹ»i
Mahalo to For Children To Flourish for their incredible support of HoŹ»oulu Me Ka Ikaika. Through their generosity, our Ikaika participants will experience a free boat trip this year ā an opportunity to connect with the beauty, healing, and inspiration found in nature.
The mission of For Children To Flourish reminds us that hope can be found, dreams can ignite, and healing can begin when keiki and their support systems are given meaningful experiences in the natural world.
Their program objectives include the O.C.E.A.N. course, science education, respite, and therapy, all designed to uplift and empower youth and families throughout our community.
We are deeply grateful for their partnership and commitment to creating opportunities for our participants to grow with strength, confidence, and Ź»ike. šš

Ikaika 2025
Ikaika is magic!
Each year, those of us present experience a dynamic transformation. For some of us the change is dramatic. Our battles with cancer alter our perspective, coloring our world uniquely compared to others. Our life journey not only refines our character but also unites us in a shared perspective, making us a powerful support system for one another. There is nothing like it!
