A Proven Impact on Hawaiʻi’s Youth Athletes
The success of this camp has been nothing short of extraordinary. Over the past three years, it has become a premier opportunity for Hawaiʻi’s high school athletes, helping nearly 40 athletes earn Division I scholarships valued at over $4 million. With the recent addition of an 8th Grade Under Armour All-America Game invite, we are now expanding our reach to impact younger athletes earlier in their development.

In 2025, our goal is to raise $150,000 to support the operational costs of the camp and elevate the overall experience for every participant. Your sponsorship directly helps fund Under Armour gear, recruiting profiles, HD video footage, elite coaching, meals, and educational resources, while allowing us to keep registration fees affordable for families across the islands.

Your Sponsorship Makes a Difference
We invite you to partner with us as a sponsor and play a direct role in shaping the future of Hawaiʻi’s youth athletes. Sponsorship support not only sustains the camp but expands access, opportunity, and exposure for athletes who deserve it.
