The Color Feelings Studio: Summer Camp 2026
Where art meets emotional intelligence. Camp for ages 4–10, led by a licensed child psychologist. June 2026 · Liberty Station, San Diego.
Welcome to The Color Feelings Studio!
About this camp
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.
Daily color journey
🔴
Monday — Red · Brave
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.
💙
Wednesday — Blue · Calm
Slow, intentional art-making paired with breathing and mindfulness.
🟠

Imagination wide open. Kids invent creatures, worlds, and questions.
🌈
Friday — All Colors · I Feel It All
Final artwork + family showcase. Parents invited at 11:15am to see the week's work on display.
