Event: Roses Music Camp (Grampians, Victoria)

Now this looks like big fun. What better way to learn a new instrument, extend current skills, relax, breathe in bush air and meet up with friends, than at Roses Music Camp in the Grampians (Victoria, Australia). 

The camp will be held on the weekend of Friday 28th September until Monday 1st October - and no, it's not officially a long weekend, but who says you can't make it into one?

Workshops include beginner and intermediate tin whistle, fiddle and guitar, as well as marimbas, gypsy brass, art, song writing, ukulele, youth band, dance, plunkestra, singing, bass and yoga. 

According to the website, "all you need to bring is a love of music & dance, an interest to learn, and the energy to have a good time.  All levels of experience are catered for.  Over the years, Roses Gap Music Camp has offered a varied program of workshops, dances, bushwalking, art and craft, yoga and concerts, for children and adults alike.  The camp is always bursting at the seams these days, so be sure to book early to ensure your place."

Accommodation is in a bush setting on unpowered and powered campsites and bunkhouses. BBQ facilities, and an outdoor camp kitchen are available, and the camp  caterer  "specialises in hearty, healthy and affordable fare for the weekend".

Perhaps this is an opportunity to send a budding musician or two from your faith community. For the full wrap and registration, visit the Roses Music Camp website
