Activities

We balance hands-on learning with time for relaxation and fun activities. This completes the Centenary residential experience. Activities are always safe and supervised, and they allow students from different program tracks to meet and get to know each other in ways that are different from the roommate and classroom environments.

During the afternoons, students can jump into a game of soccer or Frisbee on the quad; go to the recreation center for swimming, court games or working out; or relax with friends, read a book, and play games in the lounges. Students can join a group to walk to Victorian Hackettstown, grab a slice of pizza or an ice cream, visit the many shops, or hang out in one of the cafes on Main Street. All groups are accompanied by a staff member off-campus.

In the evenings, resident advisors organize a number of activities that allow all the students and staff to come together and have fun. This includes anything from lawn games and spirit wars to special seminars and discussions. Other favorites include the Tilly Ghost Hunt, open-mic night, triple-i night, dinner in town, and casino night.

Weekend Fun

Many of our students stay for more than one week so they can take different courses, get to know the staff better, and spend more time on campus. We offer a multi-session discount, and students are welcome to stay on-campus or to go home in between sessions. For students staying on campus, there is a nominal charge to cover Friday and Saturday night stay, meals and supervision.

On Saturdays, we head to a nearby destination for a day of fun. There are beaches, water parks and amusement parks nearby. A favorite weekend choice is our day trip to Manhattan. Students are accompanied by Summer Scholars staff on all trips.

Another popular weekend tradition is the Tilly Ghost Hunt. Our director leads an exciting tour of the paranormal activity on campus. There is a great history behind Centenary College, and students have a blast learning the stories, recording audio and video on the ghost hunt and analyzing the data.
