This retreat is designed for adult ukulele players of all levels who want to deepen their skills in a fun, relaxed environment. Whether you're a returning alum or a first-time attendee, you’ll feel right at home. All sessions are recorded, so you don't have to worry about it if two workshops you want are at the same time - or if you have an unscheduled nap!
Our events are announced to the Map & Key mailing list before they go out to Craig & Sarah's broader list. Make sure you sign up for our mailing list, so you can be first in line to register for future events!
Due to our contractual agreement with the hotel, commuter rates will only be offered after our room block is fully booked. If classroom space is still available at that time, we will send an email to our mailing list with commuter registration details.
Guest instructors will be announced closer to the event.
Craig and Sarah lead the instructional design for the retreat, creating engaging workshops that support musical growth across all levels. In addition to teaching, Craig films and edits all workshop recordings, providing participants with high-quality videos to continue learning after the retreat.
Cory brings his background as a licensed educator to the team, supporting curriculum development and classroom management. He also draws on his deep, first-hand knowledge of Hawaiian culture to infuse the program with meaningful cultural context, enriching the retreat experience for all participants.
Marion handles all billing and contracts and serves as the on-site liaison with the venue. She also manages participant communications and guest services, ensuring a smooth and welcoming experience from registration to departure.
