Four Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea welcomes back Spring Break travelers to the island's sunny shores with a slate of new and expanded seasonal Four Seasons Maui Academy programming rooted in the destination's remarkable culture and environment starting March 10 – April 6, 2024. Young visitors ranging in age from 5 through 12 can form a connection to Hawaii through the magic of hands-on learning experiences, marine exploration, new culinary adventures, and enchanting storytelling under the stars with new and reinvigorated experiences including: ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi (Hawaiian Language), Hawaiian Star Stories, Ocean Aloha, Chef's Garden Club, Maui Whale Watchers, and more.

Additionally, from March 24 – April 6, 2024, the Resort invites children ages 9 through 17 to join Camp Manitou, an adventure camp for pre-teens and teens designed to guide meaningful exploration around the island through counselor-led activities such as the Road to Hana, a kids-only off-campus Hawaiian Star Stories led by Hawaiian navigator Kala Baybayan Tanaka, surfing excursions, island hikes, and more. For parents and younger siblings that don't want to be left out of the fun, Camp Manitou also offers customizable family adventure days.

"We look forward to welcoming families and children of all ages to experience this spring's Four Seasons Maui Academy and Camp Manitou offerings," says Four Seasons Resort Maui General Manager Ben Shank. "Through these hands-on learning experiences and explorations, our young visitors build meaningful connections with Maui that we hope last a lifetime."

Four Seasons Maui Academy and Camp Manitou join the Resort's complimentary Kids for All Seasons day camp, as well as a long list of activities and amenities, available to families year-round. Favorite family pastimes include pickleball, the Resort's robust cultural calendar, and simply reconnecting during a dinner under the stars at the newly reimagined Ferraro's Restaurant & Bar.

Calling all whale watchers!
