LAHAINA — Lahaina Quest keiki and family programs are wrapping up the 2022 schedule with four winter school break sessions celebrating Native Hawaiian food, crafts and technologies of the past.

On Monday, Dec. 19, families with children in first through sixth grades can join in the Mission: Art program. Using kapa and ‘ohe kapala, the group will create a piece of art together, and then each participant will make a piece to take home. The program will run from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. at Apuakehau Cultural Park (also known as the Lahaina Public Library lawn).

On Friday, Dec. 23, join in I Spy History, looking at the technologies of the past. The group will experiment with different styles of cordage as they make string and bracelets. The program will run from 10 a.m. to noon at Apuakehau Cultural Park and is for families with children in first through sixth grades.

On Wednesday, Dec. 28, third- through sixth-graders are encouraged to come to the Old Lahaina Courthouse to help solve a 19th-century holiday mystery. A series of maps, codes and puzzles will lead participants to a New Year’s surprise. The History Mystery program will run from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., and participants should bring lunch.

On Friday, Dec. 30, the group will explore the uses of coconut, focusing on the foods that can be created from it. This program is for keiki in second through fifth grades and will run from 10 a.m. to noon at Apuakehau Cultural Park. Space is limited, and reservations are required.
