The Hilton Hawaiian Village® Beach Resort & Spa is once again showing why they are one of Hawaii's top family-friendly resorts.
This fall they will launch an exciting new children's program, "Camp Penguin." With its name and logo inspired by the property's eight resident African black-footed penguins, the program promises to make magical vacation memories for children ages 5 to 12.
Camp Penguin will be based out of a 1,200-square-foot space in the beachfront resort's Diamond Head Tower and will feature colorful wall murals, fabric-stuffed palm trees, bean bag furniture, lockers, soft carpeted areas and computer stations.
The team of trained and caring camp counselors will immerse the children into the rich history and culture of Hawaii. The program also will help teach kids to protect the environment with green activities and crafts. A retail outlet will offer products that promote the "green theme," including t-shirts and penguin-themed items made from recycled materials.
Every day of the week will feature a different Hawaiian theme and will include fun, educational activities with a focus on learning about Hawaii through storytelling, games, music, arts and crafts, hula and lei-making. Participants will learn the "Hawaiian Word of the Day," which will be used often throughout the day. Off-property excursions will include visits to the Honolulu Zoo, the Waikiki Aquarium, Bishop Museum and Children's Discovery Center. Daily themes include: "Wild About Hilton," "Hawaiian Ocean Explorer," "Hawaiian Skies," "Treasures of Hawaii," "Discover Hawaii," "Waikiki Aloha Friday" and "Hawaiian Safari."
At the end of each day, kids will receive Camp Penguin Daily News, a recap of the day's adventures to allow parents an opportunity to engage in conversation with their children. Black and white themed drawings in the newspaper for kids to color will reflect the different Hawaiian themes and lined space will encourage kids to write a personal memory about their experience.
Parents will be able to choose between full-day (8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.) and half-day (8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. or 11:30 p.m. to 3:00 p.m.) programs. Camp Penguin will be limited to hotel guests only and will be priced at $90 per child ($85 without excursion) for a full day or $65 per child for a half-day ($60 without excursion). Lunch is included and all participants will receive a Camp Penguin t-shirt as a part of their registration fee. Pre-registration can be done 24 hours in advance at the social director's desk in the hotel's main lobby.
Camp Penguin will be incorporated into a number of property-wide family offerings, including children's menus in the restaurants, activity discounts and room packages that will include Camp Penguin membership. Also in the works are a Camp Penguin Fan Club and a "For Kids Only" Web site. For more information, visit hiltonhawaiianvillage.com/penguin.
The Hilton Hawaiian Village is the only resort on Oahu that features African black-footed penguins. The eight penguins—Pu, Malia, Icarus, Remy, Betty, Shaka, Kalia and Mana—have endeared themselves to guests since the establishment of the Penguin Pond exhibit more than 20 years ago. Guests can interact with the penguins during morning feedings and learn about the species from the wildlife team. The comical birds are a part of the resort's extensive wildlife collection, which also includes flamingos, macaws, ducks, ibises, turtles and fish.
