the "magic" and "wonder" of Centauri onto the younger
generations as a counsellor. Geoff currently goes to school

Isabel
F.
To say Isabel Francolini loves Centauri and art would be
a bit of an understatement. Isabel was a camper for two
years, taking part in painting and clowning programs. Isabel
is currently a fine arts student at Mount Allison
University. She can usually be seen wandering with a
sketchbook, a camera and hands covered in ink and paint.
When she's not in the studio, Isabel can usually be found
reading, singing and playing guitar, dancing salsa and
swing, playing rugby or fawning over history. She hopes to
one day work in a museum, curating or restoring artwork.
Words fail to describe how she excited to return for her
third year at Centauri, as a new staff member.

downtime, Ben works as the Production Manager at McGill’s

Tatum
S.
Tatum is obsessed with all things artsy: writing, singing,
acting, dancing, stage combat, clowning…the list goes on. In
the rare moments when she is not assisting with her old
middle school's play, singing in the hallways, or skipping
through the streets, she can be found playing tug-of-war
with her dogs or enthusing about starting university next
year. Tatum is eager to reconnect with old artsy friends
and make new ones during her first summer on staff at
Centauri.
