About the camp

Where feelings become art

Color Feelings Studio Summer Camp is a one-of-a-kind creative experience that connects children's emotional worlds to the joy of making art. Each week is thoughtfully designed for a specific age group — so your child is always in the right room, with the right peers, doing the right kind of making.

Week 1 is crafted just for age 4, with sensory-rich, movement-based projects perfectly suited to their developmental stage. Week 2 meets ages 5–7 where they are — curious, expressive, and ready to dig deeper. Week 3 is designed for ages 8–10, with more complex projects, reflective conversation, and a growing creative vocabulary.

Rooted in social-emotional learning (SEL) and led by a licensed clinical psychologist and visual artist, every session gives kids the tools to understand their inner lives while building confidence, creativity, and friendships in a nurturing studio environment.

The schedule

One week per age group

Each week is designed for a specific developmental stage — register your child for the week that matches their age. Weeks also build on each other beautifully if you'd like to sign up for more than one.

01
June 2–6, 2026  ·  Age 4
Little Artists

Designed exclusively for 4-year-olds. Sensory-rich, hands-on projects — fingerpainting, clay, texture play — meet gentle emotional vocabulary building in a nurturing, structured environment.

02
June 9–13, 2026  ·  Ages 5–7
Color Explorers

For curious kindergarteners and early elementary kids. Campers dive into mixed media, collage, and watercolor while exploring feelings like joy, calm, bravery, and curiosity through color.

03
June 16–20, 2026  ·  Ages 8–10
Creative Storytellers

For older elementary campers ready to go deeper. More complex projects — expressive portraits, zines, and mixed-media panels — meet meaningful conversation about emotions, identity, and self-expression.

Frequently asked questions

Register directly on this page in the Sign Up section below. Select the week that matches your child's age and complete checkout online. Spots are limited to 10 campers per week, so early registration is strongly encouraged.

Each week is designed for a specific age group: Week 1 (June 2–6) is for age 4 only, Week 2 (June 9–13) is for ages 5–7, and Week 3 (June 16–20) is for ages 8–10. Register your child for the week that matches their current age. If your child turns 5 during the summer, either Week 1 or Week 2 may be a good fit — reach out at hello@mygoodbrain.org and we'll help you decide.

Each week is designed for a specific age group, so most children will attend the one week that matches their age. If you have children in different age groups, you can register each child for their corresponding week. If your child is on the cusp between two age groups and you'd like to discuss options, feel free to reach out at hello@mygoodbrain.org.

Cancellations made 14 or more days before the start of camp receive a full refund. Cancellations within 14 days of camp are eligible for a credit toward a future MGB program. Please contact us at hello@mygoodbrain.org with any questions.

Yes! Families registering two or more siblings receive a 10% discount on the second child's tuition. Contact us at hello@mygoodbrain.org after registering and we'll apply the discount for you.

We are a nut-free studio. Campers bring their own snacks from home. Please note any allergies or other needs on your registration form and we will do our best to accommodate.
