Kapi‘olani Summer Camp is on again this summer for August 2-5, and it’s a great opportunity for some professional service! Last year, we hosted 43 sessions, and 291 participants joined us for this virtual, Zoom-based event from across the UH System and beyond. We’re hoping to make an even bigger splash this year with some summer professional development fun for everyone!
Staff, faculty and admin are invited to apply to present in one or more of our 2021 Summer Camp session formats. It’s a supportive crowd and a fun way to engage in professional service outside of our campus!
🐟 Open Swim: This 20-minute presentation meant to share resources or strategies/processes. While we encourage all formats to include some level of engagement, there is limited time for “hands-on” learning. This session is ideal for sharing lessons learned or strategies you employ in your job that you believe will be helpful to others!
🏕️ Group Excursion: This 80-minute engaging, interactive session format is intended to provide the time to facilitate meaningful conversation and/or application of ideas. This session format is a fantastic opportunity to grapple with interesting issues, problem-solve/brainstorm as a group, and/or introduce a concept/resource while allowing participants to plan for its application in their own context!
⛰️ Activity Hour (1-1:50pm, after lunch break): New this year will be 50-minute health and wellness-focused sessions in the afternoon. This is such an important focus for all of us always, but especially after the year we’ve had, and we’d love to have some sessions that help engage participants in planning for healthy, holistic approaches to work/life balance!
🔥 Fireside Chat: Hosted during the afternoon activity hour, these are 50-minute, small group special interest sessions during which presenters will facilitate a semi-structured or open conversation about a topic of interest (e.g., assessment, HR issues, time management, discipline-related planning, etc.)
Please share your sessions proposal(s) here: Kapi‘olani Summer Camp Proposal Submission

We hope to hear from you!
