The Color Feelings Studio: Summer Camp 2026

The Color Feelings Studio is a week-long summer art camp where kids ages 4–10 explore emotions through color, creativity, and hands-on art-making. Each day of camp is anchored to a color and a feeling: brave red, joyful yellow, calm blue, curious orange, building toward a full emotional palette by Friday.

Led by Dr. Danessa Mayo, licensed clinical psychologist and visual artist, and founder of My Good Brain, a nonprofit dedicated to youth mental wellness through art and play.

Kids leave with a portfolio of original artwork, a deeper emotional vocabulary, and the confidence to say: I can express how I feel through art.

🔴

Big feelings, bold marks. Kids explore what courage looks and feels like through expressive painting.

💛

Sunshine art, joy maps, and making something that makes them smile.

💙

Slow, intentional art-making paired with breathing and mindfulness.

🟠

Imagination wide open. Kids invent creatures, worlds, and questions.

🌈
