  2. Camp Caroline Wed., September 21 – Fri., September 23, 2011 Forms are due no later than Thursday, September 15th

  3. All Centennial music students are invited to attend our annual retreat to be held at Camp Caroline. There are two specific goals of this retreat: To participate in camp related activities which aim to encourage friendship between students and contribute to the overall team spirit of our ensembles. To increase musical knowledge and skill with the opportunity to work with both Centennial music directors and guest instructors. The retreat is scheduled from Wednesday to Friday and students as a result will one and a half days of school. Each student will be responsible for checking with their teachers ahead of time and upon their return to make up any work missed. Attendance at the camp does not excuse students from assigned work while they are away.

  4. The total cost of the trip is approximately $195.00 per student and this amount covers food, accommodation, and transportation and clinicians. CHAMP is subsidizing this trip which brings the total camp cost to $100.00 per student. Cheques are to be made payable to CHAMP. (Due September 15th) Students are not required to attend this activity and their marks will not suffer in any way should they choose not to attend for whatever reason. Having said that, it is also hoped that the majority of our students do attend as we get to know one another and learn to work together. This activity is a school trip wherein all normal school rules and policies apply and we expect that in all circumstances our students will represent Centennial High School well.
