The holidays are a time of tradition for the employees of Kilauea Military Camp in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, who created their own tradition by decorating the front row cottages.

“Holiday Challenge” is a friendly holiday decorating competition between KMC departments. And this year, the camp is happy to say the local community joined in the fun. Rotary Club of Volcano and Kilauea Drama and Entertainment Network decorated cottages.

KMC Lodging guests, the camp’s park partners and employees and the local community are invited to vote for their top three favorites. The decorations and lights will remain up until Jan. 1, 2020.

KMC invites everyone to view the cottages during the day to see the special details, and especially when the cottages are ablaze with lights from 5-10 p.m. Ballots and ballot boxes are located at the front desk, Crater Rim Cafe, general store and recreation lodge.
