Arts Camp ProgramsWelcome to Centauri Summer Arts Camp, where the traditional camp experience combines with specialist arts programming to offer a summer experience like no other.
During each session at Centauri, we offer at least 10 arts
programs. Campers choose one specialty per session, and
spend at least 4 hours on it daily. Every department is run
by an experienced program director and accepts a maximum of
18 campers. With 1-2 counsellors assisting, this ensures
plenty of individual attention. Most of our programs are
open to all levels of skill and experience; while many of
our campers hope to follow a career in the arts, others
simply want to try something new.
Each program at Centauri is geared to a specific age range.
Options for younger campers provide age-appropriate arts
material and plenty of variety, while those for older
campers offer the level of intensity often only available in
college.
Our arts programs emphasise process rather than product, to ensure maximum learning. However, all departments engage in final shows on the last day of sessions 1-3, and mini 'demonstrations' in the shorter session 4. Presentations include readings, exhibitions, live dance and theatre, music concerts and short film festivals. Family members are always invited to attend.
"The programs were exceptional. Emma learned more at film camp than she ever expected, and your dance staff re-ignited her passion for dance."

"When I came to camp, the kids were busy with final preparations for Presentation Day. In the distance I saw this confident, relaxed, joyful and totally at ease young lady and it took me a second to realise: yes, that was my daughter!"
