JANUARY: Winter Retreat 2025
Cantiga Retreat:
Up, up, and AWAY!
The Stars (AND PLANETS) Align!
It’s another exciting January where our ensembles get to go out to Camp Chestermere for WINTER RETREAT!!
After a WINDY first day moving into their bunks, Cantiga got to work on some new music! With a weekend filled with special space moments, the theme for Cantiga’s weekend is OUTER SPACE!! Huge thanks to our chaperones for bringing out the telescopes, with a clear night sky, we could all see Mars, Venus, and Jupiter with just our eyes!!! Here’s hoping we can add Saturn to the mix tomorrow!
Saturday
Our outer space theme continued into a busy Saturday! Cantilena determined who had the strongest gravity during a mighty Tug O’ War while Cantiga got to make some rockets of their own and learn about the chemical reactions that help us leave earth’s orbit!
Did somebody say GLOW-STICK DANCE PARTY?!?
Saturday night was BOPPIN’ as Cantiga celebrated a BIG weekend!! We’ve never seen so many glowsticks in one place! huge thanks to our parent chaperones for decorating the gym for this fun night!
Here’s to all the memories!

“Something strange and unusual is afoot at Cantare’s winter retreat…. We find our choristers away from their posts, gathered instead at the central lodge of Camp Chestermere. Why is the camp so quiet? What could have stalled rehearsal proceedings? Is everyone who they say they are? It remains…. A MYSTERY🕵️♀️”
“A suspicious car crash before a Hollywood awards night has our protagonists in disarray! Famous action star TOM SPEED was tragically killed just as he was set to clean up this year’s Eric Awards!! While “Dazzled To Death” has its solemn moment in the spotlight in the wake of Speed’s passing, actors, producers, and directors are swarming the Erics After-Party making deals for the future, uncovering secrets of their pasts, and searching for the answer to the question on everyone’s minds: Who killed Tom Speed?”
