Camp Life!
Inspiring
Electives...
Interested in more than one art form? No problem!
Every afternoon at camp, you choose from up to ten different arts activities! Some arts electives on a typical day: Photography, Highland Dance, landscape art, paper-making, clowning, improvisation, mask-making, Arabic drumming, play writing, song-writing and more!
Recreational Sports...
Want more variety? Then take Sports, too! Our sports electives are recreational. Have fun, stay fit and enjoy a game!
Sports electives include: Soccer, Volleyball, Basketball, Cricket, Field
Games, Jogging and Baseball.
Evening Programs...
Talent shows, themed banquets, murder mysteries, parties, open mic nights, campfires, movies, and more! Some evening programs are shared with the entire camp, while others are age-specific. Many are fast paced with a heavy dose of fun! But we all need moments of peace and quiet in our lives. A couple of times each session, we hold our unique ‘Pajamarama’ Nights. Quiet activities offering magic, relaxation and reflection. Celtic storytelling, yoga, beading, Tai Chi, song circle, Poetry Cafes and journal writing are some of the activities offered on these nights.
Summer Camp Fun...
We're a summer camp, and the madness and mayhem of camp inspires everything we do! From rowdy spirit suppers to dorm cheers and reflective campfires to stargazing, our campers make lasting memories and friendships.
Dorm Activities...
You’ll spend an hour each day with your counsellor in your dorm. This is a great way to bond with others your own age and make special friends, regardless of arts interests. Campers plan dorm activities with their counsellor. Perhaps you’ll go stargazing. Plan a surprise birthday party. Make a Reality TV Show. Challenge another dorm to a ‘personality quiz’. Maybe you’ll just sit under the trees and chat, sharing special moments you’ll remember forever.
Special Festivals...
In 14 day sessions, the regular schedule is suspended one day for a special festival! This is a new way to apply your creative talents. For example: become a student at Hoguarts and help Harry Potter solve a mystery, write, direct or star in a 1930s Silent Film, produce newly discovered art forms from the lost city of Atlantis or help create ‘Cirque De Centauri’ under the Big Top!
Cultural Trips and Fringe Festivals...
Each Session at Centauri includes either a day trip or an on-site Fringe Festival!
Day trips in the past have included the Dream in High Park (Toronto), the McMichael Art Collection and the Shaw Festival, Niagara-on-the-Lake. Fringe Festivals are an opportunity to bring emerging artists to camp, to perform for (and inspire!) our youth.
Fringe Festivals centre around a theme such as Circus Skills (involving clown and acrobatic performers), Comedy & Tragedy (involving a visit from a young theatre troupe) or New Canadian Music.
