Join us for the 5th Annual Ukee Greenland Weekend! This year, we’re enhancing the experience with more value, entertainment, and community connection. Our goal is to continue building the “tribe” spirit by bringing everyone together each evening for engaging activities and great food.
On Saturday evening, a guest chef will prepare a special group meal for all participants. Sunday will feature our much-loved Backyard Smash Burger vendor, returning by popular demand. We’re also introducing live music from local talent on Sunday night to close the weekend in style.
New this year, we’re excited to include Greenland Ropes, which will take place in the Manke Kayak workshop during the evening gatherings, the same location where we’ll host presentations and games.
Optional shared camping is available as part of your registration at the nearby Ucluelet Campground, located just minutes from the Manke Kayak venue.
This year’s kayak workshop options include:
➡️ Rough Water & Kayak Surfing with a Greenland Paddle
➡️ Lay-Back Kayak Rolling
➡️ Forward-Finish Kayak Rolling
➡️ Blended Greenland Paddle Strokes
Evening Gatherings and Presentations:
➡️ Traditional Games Night, including a Greenland Wrestling competition
➡️ Traditional Greenland Ropes with Tim Gallaway
➡️ Event Kayak Party with Live Local Music
➡️ Full-Group Coastal Paddle on Monday before departure
