Next summer will be Centauri Summer Arts Camp's TWENTIETH season! As a result, we'll be planning a number of very special opportunities and events, not only for alumni and staff, but for our current camper population too. One exciting plan already in place is to bring back one of our original camp programs - The [...]
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 [...]
It's Session THREE! Summer is just whirling by and today we welcomed another set of campers for our final two week session of the summer (there is still session four to go, but that's only 8 days long). Again, another terrific group of campers (how do we get such awesome kids? Is it just that [...]
Today was a wonderful day at Centauri Arts Camp. Such a feeling of joy across the camp. And such glorious sunshine... we really HAD to celebrate!

What does a young person gain from a summer at Centauri? This note says it all: "Thank you to all your staff for the great experience you provide at Centauri. We were nervous about sending [our son] to camp... but his confidence is up, his politeness is up, his happiness is up, his work ethic has improved and I know his creative side has again been ignited. The works of art your campers produce are truly amazing. We are already planning to return next year." (The parent of a first time camper)
The other day camp had a wonderful surprise. Julie spilled the beans at lunch on Day 3 that Centauri was welcoming back some very special guests. Excitement spread like wildfire as campers and staff alike remembered back four years ago to our very first music festival when the final act of the night had been an up and coming folk duo from Scarborough Ontario. Dala, which is made up of Amanda Walther (the “Da”) and Sheila Carabine (the “la”) brought their unique brand of folk music to Centauri for a second time the other night, singing songs from their new album Best Day and having a great time joking around on stage.
