The past couple of days have been a whirlwind of excitement here at Centauri Arts Camp. Countermeasure - an award-winning acapella group - came down to Centauri to perform. One of the founding members, JM Erlendson, is a Centauri program director - and twenty years ago, that same person was the first camper ever to [...]
For some utterly mysterious reason, Centauri gets the most spectacular sunsets I have ever seen anywhere, ever. And we get them almost every night. Campers call them 'Centauri Skies' and they have been featured in numerous songs, poems and inspirational speeches over the past twenty summers. In fact, at around 9pm every night, everything pauses.

Thursday, July 3rd was our annual play in a day festival! It began the evening of July 2nd with six campers writing the plays. The next morning, the entire camp set to work on four different productions, with a small group of campers creating skits to tie the plays together and move the camp from [...]
Last night was Banquet Night!! In Session One we visited Bavaria, Session Two was Korea, Session Four will be Greece, and this Session... we took a trip to Australia!

There is a type of magic that descends on Centauri Arts Camp around the third day of a session. The first two days begin with a mad rush to get acclimated into the camp environment. Our returning campers leap right in, being the first to dash around camp or dress up for the first spirit [...]
Today (22nd July) Centauri Summer Arts Camp was transported, by a group of evil scientists, to the far corners of the Galaxy. Why? At first we had no idea. Our adventures began when the TARDIS landed outside the dining hall during lunch, and the Doctor charged in, chased by a bizarre and nasty-looking pre-historic creature. [...]
Hello Centauri Arts Camp families and friends, It's been an exciting second week here at camp as both campers and staff gear up for final performances. The clowns have been running around grabbing props, actors can be found wandering the quad holding scripts, and it is always lovely to listen to one of the musical [...]
Well we are officially half way through session one and it seems as though we have already crammed an entire summer worth of fun into the first week of camp! Since camp started we have celebrated two major holidays together. On Canada Day campers got to travel across Canada, spending some time in each province, [...]
Every once in a while, something happens at camp that, quite literally, makes dreams come true. Several campers told us their dreams came true two nights ago when we transformed Centauri to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Byng ‘n’ Band Day! Yesterday was our Midsummer Celebration – a chance to relax, take a day off from arts programs, and enjoy something a little different!
