After 25 memorable years, our overnight arts camp has closed its doors for the final time… but Centauri Arts is alive and flourishing. Our Arts Academy in Toronto offers year-round programs and summer day camps in Acting, Film, Creative Writing, Fine Art and more. Our English Tutoring programs bring professional writers together with young people looking for reading and writing enrichment. Our creative writing retreats for adults take place annually in Mexico and Costa Rica… plus, our virtual schedule of arts and English Tutoring programs open our community to families all over the world.

Creative Writing Retreats & Classes for Adults

Gift yourself the time and space to write.
Inspiration. Rejuvenation. Companionship. Joy. Discover all this and more when you leave behind the pressures and routines of daily life and reconnect with your creative self. Choose from a gorgeous eco-lodge in the heart of Costa Rican rainforest, or a tranquil boutique hotel in the vibrant, cultural city of Merida, Mexico. Enjoy daily writing workshops designed to hone your technique and provide an endless supply of ideas. Attend our retreats alone, or bring along your family or friends. Our Creative Writing Retreats are for everyone: experienced writers, and those setting words on the page for the first time.

Writers at the retreat

“Every new camper will have heard of Centauri’s magical effect, and must wonder, at first, what it is that makes Centauri different from any other camp. Well, the answer is the people who come here, and the people who work here. Centauri has such a warm atmosphere that the minute you step foot on camp, you can feel it. I left Centauri with a new found confidence that comes from being surrounded by people who encourage your growth and don’t look down on you. That confidence stayed with me, allowing me express myself more clearly than I ever had before.”

Sophia, 2019 camper

“Our son loves the community, looks up to all the counsellors, thrives in the arts programs and is always so happy there. We know it is the people who make Centauri so magical and memorable and safe.”
