The OSU Cowboy Music Camp, established in 2016, has been providing young musicians with the opportunity to grow their skills through immersive, hands-on experiences. Hosted by the Greenwood School of Music, the camp offers a supportive environment where students can enhance their musical abilities and connect with peers who share their passion. As we gear up for our 2025 camp, we are launching a PhilanthroPete campaign to ensure that every aspiring musician has the opportunity to attend and thrive in our program. With a goal of welcoming 125 campers, we’re committed to providing expert instruction through large and small ensembles, masterclasses, and individual lessons.
Our campers consistently shared how impactful the OSU Cowboy Music Camp has been for their growth as musicians. From receiving valuable college-level input and exploring new interests in the music industry to connecting with peers in a supportive community, the experience is transformative. One camper said, “Playing and meeting fellow musicians was incredible—I loved seeing each person's unique style shine through in their music and learning from their different approaches.,” while another shared, “This is the best camp I’ve been to. I loved the community and wish we could have stayed longer.” Join us in making a lasting impact on the future of young musicians through the OSU Cowboy Music Camp!
