2025 All Staff Retreat

On Friday, May 2nd, KKV staff from all departments joined in on another successful annual retreat at the John A. Burns Hall at Keʻehi Lagoon Memorial. This much anticipated day is a time for staff to relax, have fun, and get to know each other. The retreat was filled with fun activities, like a variety of sports, games, yoga, karaoke, a beach clean-up, haku making, and more. There was also delicious food and entertainment.
