Joyful Color & Shapes Studio

Step into a week of vibrant, expressive art-making that celebrates color, imagination, and the pure joy of creating. This camp introduces young artists to the power of expressive color use, bold graphic shapes, playful repeating patterns, and layered mixed media techniques, combining them into works that are energetic, personal, and genuinely exciting to make and display.

Each day brings new materials, new approaches, and new opportunities to experiment, with instruction that encourages students to make genuine artistic choices rather than simply following prescriptive steps. Students leave each session with completed artwork and a growing sense of their own creative voice.

What to Bring to Camp:

• Please apply sunscreen to your child before drop-off. We work primarily under tents, but brief periods in direct sunlight occur during breaks. A brimmed hat is recommended if your child typically wears one.
• Bring a nut-free snack and a labeled beverage each day. If your child forgets, we keep Pepperidge Farm Goldfish crackers and bottled water on hand.
• Label everything your child might remove during the day: hats, sweatshirts, lunchboxes, and water bottles. Labels make sure belongings find their way home.
• If your child is staying for the between-session lunch period, please pack a nut-free lunch and an additional drink.
• Dress your child in clothing that can handle paint. We provide smocks, but we cannot guarantee complete coverage of clothing underneath.
• Any required medications, including EpiPens or inhalers, should be packed in a clearly labeled zip-top bag and handed directly to the teacher at drop-off each morning.

This camp is a wonderful creative experience for young artists at all skill levels and a highlight of the summer for many returning campers.
