Life at Camp
There are a few ways
to do Camp
Day Camps
Ages 5-15
​
The Camp Centennial day: outdoor adventure, challenge, creativity and connection, with Campers heading home each afternoon.
Blended Camp
Ages 9-15
​
The Camp Centennial experience grows with them, adding overnight adventures and increasing independence while keeping the familiarity of their Camp group.​​
Sleep-away Camp
Ages 8-15
​
Four nights at our Grand Lake site, with the full Camp experience extending from morning through bedtime.
Camp is built
around people,
not a schedule
A day at Camp Centennial isn't about filling time. It's about making the most of the moments we get, together.
​
Campers spend their days with the same group and Counsellors, playing, eating, exploring and taking on challenges together.
Our Counsellors are trained across the breadth of what we do at Camp. The same Counsellor who helps a Camper climb in the morning might invent a ridiculous game after lunch, help them through a difficult moment that afternoon and sing beside them at Closing. With approximately one Counsellor for every seven Campers, Counsellors have the opportunity to genuinely know the Campers in their group.
​
Campers get to know their Counsellors as whole people; curious, capable and willing to try different things, and are encouraged to discover the same in themselves.
Every day,
a new experience.
Camp has familiar places and activities, but there isn't one prescribed version of the day. The group, the weather, their interests and what they're ready for all shape where the experience goes next.
​
Swim. Climb. Create. Explore. Play. Get muddy. Solve something. Try again.
The activities are the tools. What happens through them is the program.
​​
Cellphone & Electronics
We spend our days without them at Camp. Campers and Counsellors alike. Why? Because they don't add to connection, they take away from it. If you need to be in touch with your Camper, the office is always available to make that happen.

Camp grows with them.
The foundations of Camp stay the same as Campers get older, but the challenge, independence and adventure grow with them. Day to day, the program, staffing, training and even our spaces are deliberately built to put Counsellors in a position to know their Campers, understand them, and encourage them toward what comes next.
That works because our Counsellors are growing too: learning to lead, take responsibility, try new things and understand the people around them. Their training is extensive, their support is unwavering, and their capacity is significant!
​
Over time, that progression can take a Camper from Day Camp into Blended Camps, and eventually into the full sleep-away Camp experience at Centennial Landing. Growth looks different for each of us, but it is rarely something we do alone. Connection, support and encouragement give us room to become more capable than we were before.
​
We start together. We finish together.
Camp is full of shared traditions that give the week its shape. Opening brings everyone together each morning at 8:30 a.m. (drop-off between 8:00-8:20 a.m.).
Closing brings the whole Camp back together at the end of the day at 4:15 p.m., and Friday Campfire at 3:30 p.m. gives Campers, Counsellors and families a chance to celebrate the week they created together.
