Western NSW Rock Camp is a residential camp for Years 6 to 12 public school students from rural south and west areas of NSW with an interest in the rock genre. The camp provides the opportunity for students to learn and perform with other like-minded peers as they work with teachers and professional musicians on techniques and skills to enhance their musical and vocal ability.

Students will work in either smaller rock ensembles or instrument groups, learning a variety of subgenres, including classic rock, hard rock, punk rock, alternative rock, metal and more. Instruments to nominate for are vocals, electric guitar, bass guitar, drums, keyboard, acoustic guitar, trumpet, trombone and saxophone. The 2024 camp will also include an acoustic guitar group as well as a chance for singers to attend as part of a rock choir.

The week culminates in a showcase performance in front of an audience.

Let's Rock!
