2015 Tickets now on sale

G'day everyone,

Here is the letter that went to past campers tonight.
Ticket sales are now open.  If you order within this fortnight, you won't miss out.

We are calling for volunteers as well (a little later than usual this year) - please head to the online form to apply ASAP.

Dear Camper,

Tickets for the 2015 Rosewood Music camp are now on sale!

Location - Charnwood The camp will be held at the Charnwood Outdoor Education Centre in the beautiful Strathbogie Ranges, North East Victoria - you will find all the information about this location at our website. There are a couple of things to highlight:

• Plan to arrive in time to set up your campsite in daylight. There are a lot of animals on the road at twilight/night time and it will be much easier to navigate through the Strathbogie Ranges in daylight. Campers can arrive at the camp from midday.
• One of the campsites has a separate car park for vehicles. Those not requiring their car to be at their campsite will be encouraged to use this very picturesque site and assistance will be provided to ferry your gear from car to camp. Please note that there is no powered camping available.
• The Strathbogie Ranges are a little colder and wetter on average than Roses Gap so make sure that you have adequate bedding and clothing to keep you dry and roasty toasty!

Volunteers Our camp couldn't run without volunteers and we appreciate very much the help they provide. Once again our policy has changed from last year, hopefully for the better.
Volunteers are no longer required to pay upfront for their camp registration.

To apply to be a volunteer please head to the website and complete the online application form here:

www.rosesgapmusiccamp.org.au/volunteers.html

You will be contacted soon after by Jill Findlay our volunteer co-ordinator who will confirm your status as a volunteer and explain how you can register for your special volunteer tickets. Volunteers pay only for accommodation. Prospective volunteers will need to ensure that any children they are responsible for will be looked after by another responsible adult while they undertake their volunteer work at camp.

We look forward to receiving your applications!

Bunkhouse Accommodation At Charnwood there are half the number of bunks that were available at Roses Gap so if you are wanting a bunk bed you will need to get in early! Many bunk rooms will be allocated on a shared basis. If you have a family group, or a group of compatible friends, who can share a 6, 8, 12 or 14 bed bunkhouse, please let us know when booking your tickets. If there are young children who need to be in the same room as their parents please make sure we know when you book your accommodation. There will be a question on the ticket order form for this. Knowing the age and gender of children accompanying single parents will help us to make suitable groupings as well.

Outdoor activities Campers with children have the option to purchase an outdoor activities wristband for $25 for the weekend which covers canoeing, climbing, a flying fox, walks and other fun stuff for those kids who need a bit more action than what's included in the main camp program, all supported by Charnwood's friendly outdoor ed. staff.

Onsite Catering Once again our fantastic caterers will be supplying delicious healthy meals and coffees on Friday, Saturday and Sunday night, and for Saturday and Sunday lunch. For 2015 all meals need to be pre-paid. For all information and to purchase your meals, head to our website.

All campers will need to cater for their own breakfasts.

To purchase your ticket Now to the important part - get your group details, your ID number (below) and credit card/PayPal credentials ready and head to the website:

www.rosesgapmusiccamp.org.au

Click on the "Buy Tickets" button. Please make sure you book a camp registration ticket AND accommodation type ticket for every person in your party.

For returning campers, your unique number (RGMC ID) is RGMC_ID. You will be asked to provide this when you place your order.
New applicants will be issued a number when they register, the ID number is only required for RETURNING campers - that is - people receiving this e-mail.
