Well, session 3 ended on Thursday. As usual, the final shows, films and art exhibits were amazing. It always amazes us how much campers learn in less than 2 weeks! It was great to see some collaborations between departments such as the writing and dance departments, making poetry come to life in movement, and programs stretching the boundaries of theatre in the presentation of “Acting outside the box” where the program used the whole of the loyalist building as a big stage, having vignettes going on in different rooms as the audience moved between them!
See photos here of Session 3, 2010!
We are now looking ahead to a great session 4!

Notes from our Alumni!
On impulse, a couple of weeks ago, Craig and I sent out an email to every camper who has ever attended Centauri! After all, this is our FIFTEENTH year! We heard back from dozens of people, many of whom have already finished university, and launched arts careers of their own! Here’s a sample of some of the wonderful comments we received. It was wonderful for us all to remind ourselves of the life-changing effect Centauri has had – and continues to have – on the lives of others:
Centauri was honestly one of my best experiences I think I’ve ever had. It truly was a place where I felt 100% myself. Everyone played such an integral role in making my camp experience an amazing one. So I just want to say a big THANK YOU.
I had a really good time there, I’m getting extremely nostalgic over the photographs I find on your homepage 
I just wanted to say hi and thank you for all of the support and encouragement I received at Centauri, it really made a difference in my life. We cannot express the gratitude we have to you and Centauri camp for the experiences Kristin had there when she was young and the fab time she had on the Centauri tour. Thank you again and again.
Thank you so much for all the memories that are unforgettable. I appreciate all the advice that you both unknowingly doled out and for the fact that when I think back to my time at Centauri, I just smile from all my happy memories. Thank you again and the best of luck in everything. I really miss the wonderful summers at Centauri.
And I guess we’ll let this alumni have the final word:
Centauri changed my life, I would never be who I am today without it. I never, ever would have thought I would be able to do anything like the Inspiration Challenge as an LIT, or take a dance class for the first time in ten years, or sing a solo, or write a poem and share it with the entire camp, but I did all of these things at Centauri. When faced with fears and challenges in my life now, I can think back to how loved and accepted I felt at camp. Going to Centauri was truly one of the best things that ever happened in my life, it showed me that there are people in the world who are kind and accepting, no matter what.
