What a lovely event this sounds like. I can’t play music to save my soul, but the surroundings, food, camaraderie, and spirit of the gathering really appeal to me.
This is such a wonderful way to spend some time; not only with the music, but with the sense of belonging to a like-minded group. Very interesting-sounding place!
This looks like such a fantastic and amazing experience. My daughter has a ukelele. She doesn’t play it … yet. She’s only 11. Maybe a week here is in her future?!

those are some top names, to be sure . always good to find people exploring ways to connect through music. it can open so many doors, as you point out. sounds a bit like fiddle camps I’ve known in the US — great that there is one sharing Hawaiian music and culture. thanks for telling us of it.

I have a new uke and one with a broken string already.
I learned the ukelele when I was in grade 6, and it’s been my favorite instrument (I also learned the recorder and the piano). I would love to learn to pick better though; I can only strum chords.
