Now that you've secured your tickets, it's time to order you meals for camp with Carolina of Malmsbury Kitchen Garden! Head to our Catering Page and select the meals you need, then pay online - all done.
If you're booked into our bunkhouse accommodation, we STRONGLY RECOMMEND that you dine with Carolina, as the self catering facilities are very limited, and you will need to BYO esky etc to store perishables. Meals are only available by pre-order - meals cannot be purchased at the camp. This is to minimise food wastage and risk for our lovely caterer. Stay tuned for news about our new cafe barista... On registration you'll receive tickets for each meal you have ordered, which you will use to redeem your meals. Breakfasts and snacks will still need to be self catered. That's all! See you soon everyone.

Hello Rosewood Friends!

Tickets for the 2019 Rosewood Music camp are now on sale!
This year's Rosewood Music Camp continues to deliver a quality wide-ranging programme of music-related activities. A major theme this year is the music and dance of our neighbouring country Timor Leste (East Timor). Song and dance will be led by Paulo Almeida, Gil Santos, Zeca Mesquita and Elsa Pinto, who are all East Timorese with Melbourne connections. Kavisha Mazella will join us for the first time to lead some singing, linking with her previous East Timorese projects. Wodonga's Jody Moran brings his Irish heritage to the camp, and there's a welcome return from one of our first ukulele tutors, Lucy Wise. Bowed strings are led by Rosie Luby and Ewen Baker, both well loved as tutors at the annual Lake School of Koroit. Throw in art, youth band, resilience workshops, wildflower walks, kids singing, yoga, our big ensemble and some outdoor activities, and there's something for everyone.. What's new this year? We've switched our online ticketing from Eventbrite to Trybooking, an Australian company. Instead of purchasing bunkhouse upgrades in addition to your camp registration, you'll select from either camping or bunkhouse sections. The pricing for both kinds of ticket is all-inclusive and you can purchase a combination of both if your party will be staying in both kinds of accommodation. Early bird pricing to August 11th Maximum ticket prices are shown, however if you book your tickets prior to the 11th of August, your tickets will be discounted by $20-$5 depending on the kind of ticket - so get in early for best prices! New caterer We are very excited to announce that Carolina from Malmsbury Kitchen Garden will be providing the onsite catering this year. Meals will be available for pre purchase from our website within the next 2 weeks and are only available via pre-order - you will not be able to purchase them at camp. There will also be pay as you go cafe options at camp. We strongly recommend that people staying in bunkhouse accommodation dine with Malmsbury Kitchen as self-catering facilities are very limited. It got REALLY cold at night last year! Campers in 2018 got a taste of just how cold the nights can be at Charnwood, so we really want to highlight the importance of bringing bedding and clothing that you can layer on and off as needed. Several thinner layers instead of one thick one, and a good beanie and scarf, can make the difference between a happy camper and a shivering one! Keep in touch and help us to spread the word We'll be sending messages via the blog and email list, and posts to our Facebook Page and Group. The group is a great place to connect with other campers and arrange transport etc. If you aren't already aware of our social channels, they are: Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/rosewoodmusiccamp/ Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/rgmcinc/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rosewoodmusiccamp/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIy_raRbFIiHZjqloKxIc6Q Twitter: twitter.com/rgmcinc Follows, likes, reviews are all appreciated and help to spread the word about our fabulous camp!

Some of you will be aware that Turramurra Camp is now under the auspice of the Roses Gap Music Club Inc. This is all to do with governance and not something that will affect your day to day experience of camps, however - We will be changing the name of the Roses Gap Music Club Inc. to something that better reflects who we are and what we do now. Suggestions are welcome - something that reflects the fact that we run music camps in Victoria would be good. An Annual General Meeting of the incorporated association is planned for August 2018. More news as it comes to hand... Summary of dates for 2018 Jan 19-22: Turramurra Camp April: Call for volunteers Rosewood Camp July: Rosewood tickets on sale August: AGM of renamed Incorporated Association Sept 28-Oct 2: Rosewood Camp Nov: Turramurra tickets on sale Hope to see you at camp sometime soon!
