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 [...]
In Centauri Arts Camp, time we have officially reached the middle of summer as Session Two reached it’s conclusion. Although the end of session is bittersweet, it was inspiring to hear several campers proclaim that this had been “the best summer camp” experience. What a wonderful realization that in creating the Centauri experience we are [...]
Today (22nd July) Centauri Summer Arts Camp was transported, by a group of evil scientists, to the far corners of the Galaxy. Why? At first we had no idea.

A couple of freezies have also helped! Fortunately the heat [...]
A Sad Farewell to Session One... by Delphine M. (camper session 1, 2013) I've always been struck by how beautiful Centauri Arts Camp sunsets are. When we leave from evening program, a cascade of reds and oranges and even pinks are there to greet us. It's as if Mother Nature herself decided Centauri is such [...]
Hello Centauri Arts Camp families and friends, It's been an exciting second week here at camp as both campers and staff gear up for final performances. The clowns have been running around grabbing props, actors can be found wandering the quad holding scripts, and it is always lovely to listen to one of the musical [...]
