Mini-Rockertjesweek
The best music camp in Leuven and surrounding areas
Is your little Rockertje, aged 5 to 8, eager to take their first musical steps? Then sign them up for Mini-Rockertjesweek! From August 2 to 6, we’ll transform kindergarten de Appeltuin in Leuven into a real Rockertje Werchter. For five days (day camp, no overnight), the mini-rockers will be immersed in a summer festival full of musical activities and games. They’ll get to explore different instruments and discover how fun it is to make music together. As the grand finale, the week ends with a spectacular concert, where the mini-rockers take the stage together as a full orchestra! Read on for more info.
Current students receive a €20 membership discount. Request your discount code via info@derockschool.be.
What does a music camp look like?
During this super fun music camp, each day revolves around a new musical theme, which the mini-rockers explore through games, creative workshops, and musical activities. They’ll create their own merch, decorate vinyl records, personalize a real rock guitar, sing songs together, and even take part in a music quiz. For some little ones, this might be their very first encounter with music, so no previous musical experience is needed.
Musical activities
Mini-Rockertjesweek is first and foremost a music camp where young rockers are introduced to music in a playful way, exploring everything from rhythm to melody, from different songs to various genres. Each day focuses on a new musical theme, with games, creative activities, and crafts tied to that theme. Think of practicing rhythm and tempo on pots and pans with AC/DC, or decorating old vinyl records in a cool hip-hop theme. Which themes are planned for this year? That’s still a secret… but one thing is certain: every edition is a blast! And if that weren’t enough, the mini-rockers also design their own unique t-shirt as a keepsake from the most fun music camp in Leuven. From colorful ’60s-style tie-dye to more modern designs, each shirt becomes a true collector’s item.
Musical first steps
Our music camp is more than just a summer camp: for most mini-rockers, it’s a unique opportunity to experience music for the first time. Even if they haven’t taken formal lessons yet, they explore the basics of musical concepts and instruments through play. What does it feel like to sit behind a drum kit? What happens when you press the keys of a piano? Under the guidance of our professional coaches, children experience all of this in a fun and exploratory way.

You don't need any musical experience for the Mini-Rockertjesweek, nor do you need to be a student at De Rockschool. Absolutely everyone can join in! After gaining all these new experiences, the mini-rockstars will wrap up the week as one big orchestra and put on a spectacular final concert for family and friends!
Final concert
The final concert takes place on August 6 at 4:00 PM on the main stage at Appeltuin in Leuven. Parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles, friends, and even distant acquaintances, everyone is welcome to come and enjoy the show (and perhaps shed a happy tear).
