The program is a day camp, running Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM, with extended hours available.

Who thrives here Ages 13–18

Ohana Arts Summer Program serves high-school campers, which means the program is competing against summer jobs, college visits, internships, and residential overnight options. The case for a day camp at this age is usually a CIT (counselor-in-training) track, deep specialization in theater/music, or a portfolio item parents and kids both value. Programs that don't articulate one of those three usually lose this age band by 9th grade.
