KEAUHOU-KONA, HAWAII - Jean-Michel Cousteau's Ocean Futures Society, Ohana Keauhou Beach Resort and the Kona Family YMCA have partnered to offer a series of marine science educational programs and overnight camps this summer on Hawaii's Big Island.

Hawaii Ambassadors of the Environment, created by Jean-Michel Cousteau, is an experiential education program at the Kona Family YMCA sustainable campsite in Ke'ei. Youth from 10-17 years of age will learn about Hawaii's unique coral, marine life, plants and environment from marine educators and Hawaiian cultural practitioners.

Parents staying at the OHANA Keauhou Beach Resort can enroll their children in special one-, two- or three-night adventure camp programs that include all meals, supervised activities, equipment, beachfront camp accommodations and round-trip transportation from the resort to the camp.

The schedule for this year's camp is: June 20-26; June 27-July 3; July 4-6; July 7-10; July 11-17; July 18-24; July 25-31; August 1-7; and August 8-14.

Cost is $ 85 per child, per night. Guests can register in advance with the YMCA or upon arrival at the hotel, based on space availability. Registration for the Ambassadors of the Environment camp must be made through the Kona Family YMCA at (808) 329-9622 or www.aote.org

While their children attend the nearby educational camp, parents can enjoy a quiet Hawaiian vacation on the lush oceanfront acreage of the OHANA Keauhou Beach Resort. As part of the Hawaii Ambassadors of the Environment program, the hotel is offering a special Ocean Adventure Rate of $119 per night, plus
