Surprise! Day 3, Session 3, 2012 at Centauri Arts Camp

The other day camp had a wonderful surprise. Julie spilled the beans at lunch on Day 3 that Centauri was welcoming back some very special guests. Excitement spread like wildfire as campers and staff alike remembered back four years ago to our very first music festival when the final act of the night had been an up and coming folk duo from Scarborough Ontario. Dala, which is made up of Amanda Walther (the “Da”) and Sheila Carabine (the “la”) brought their unique brand of folk music to Centauri for a second time the other night, singing songs from their new album Best Day and having a great time joking around on stage.

Our Renaissance Festival was a HIT with the campers! Session 2, 2012

We were transported to Elizabethan England, courtesy of some excellent costumes supplied by our friends at Blackthorn Productions! Each dorm had an identity – for example, B1 was a group of Explorers, led by Sir Francis Drake. At lunch, all groups were presented to the Queen… who then demanded a Pageant to be held in her honour. Each group prepared a portion of the Pageant, and we also had a guest instructor on camp, teaching Renaissance Dance.

And knowing how many of those kids are the creative, artistic type, we’ve evolved a daily schedule that meets their needs, too.
