to build resilient & strong military families.
The Wet Hens are proud to support the MWR mission.
The Wet Hens program is offered through the office of Military Morale, Welfare, and Recreation (MWR). The Wet Hens support MWR's goal: to promote active living through participation in recreation, fitness, sports, to build positive self-esteem and esprit de corps – essential qualities for personal and professional success. Active living leads to improved personal health and well-being and helps build resilience and strength for military families. Check out MWR's offerings at Great Life Hawaii.

A whole lot of fun, by the looks of things. A playlist of videos from past classes.
