Community Buildings--Hakalau Upper Camp

For the resident of Hakalau Upper Camp, there was easy access to shopping, entertainment, exercise facilities, social halls or clubhouses, educational and religious facilities. Technically, Hakalau Upper Camp included everything above Mamalahoa Highway (now known as Old Mamalahoa Highway). However, since the camp map below shows some community buildings directly across from "Up Camp" and considered to be part of "Down Camp", these are also included in the picture gallery below.
