The 5th Annual Ukee Greenland Weekend

Where the tribe gathers enjoying west coast magic, energetic connections, and a true sense of Ukee Time.

For five incredible years, paddlers have come together in Ucluelet to celebrate tradition, community, and the spirit of the sea. The West Coast of Vancouver Island has a magic all its own, a place where time slows down, the air smells like salt and cedar, and people connect in ways that stay with them long after they leave. Around here, we call it Ukee Time.

We are hosting everything at the new Manke Garage at the Wreckage, a cozy gathering space designed to bring people together. To make the weekend even more enjoyable, two delicious group meals are included in your registration. On Saturday night, a guest chef will prepare a special buffet meal to kick off the weekend in style. On Sunday night, our legendary Backyard Smash Burgers return by popular demand, the perfect way to close out the weekend.

Evening ropes sessions inside the Manke Garage, alongside presentations, games, and plenty of laughs.

Optional shared camping is included with registration at Ucluelet Campground, just minutes from the venue.

Leave the stress behind and experience true Ukee Time! Become part of the tribe.

This years event is proudly sponsored by Big Wave Cafe located directly across the street from the Campground. All participants will receive a discounted rate on breakfast and your morning drink of choice!
