There is a type of magic that descends on Centauri Arts Camp around the third day of a session. The first two days begin with a mad rush to get acclimated into the camp environment. Our returning campers leap right in, being the first to dash around camp or dress up for the first spirit supper. This energy creates the backbone upon which a session at Centauri is built. But what I find even more wonderful is watching the new campers, those who know next to nothing about what to expect for Centauri Summer Arts Camp. It is around day three when new campers begin to lose the look of surprise every time their dorm mates jump on chairs to sing and dance in the Dining Hall. Around day three the schedule is no longer strange and the shape of the day becomes more familiar. It does not matter whether a camper is returning or new, because by day three we’ve all adjusted to a new unique session at Centauri.
And if you have trouble believing that after 19 years we still have surprises at Centauri, take a peek at the photos taken at last night’s spirit supper. That bear who appeared at the end of dinner is Craig! This was quite the surprise to campers and staff alike as Craig is one of the busiest people on camp and to have him surprising us with a song last night was a wonderful treat. I can’t wait to see what other adventures are in store for us this summer!
