CAMP REGISTRATION OPENS ON MONDAY, FEBRUARY 2 @ 10AM!

This summer, we invite young artists to dive into the colorful world of watercolor at Gorton Center. Led by Periwinkle Art Studio, this week-long, hands-on camp brings paint, water, and imagination together in a fun and supportive setting.

First, campers build a strong foundation. They learn essential watercolor techniques and explore how color, water, and brushwork work together. Then, they put those skills into action. Each day introduces new projects and fresh inspiration, from dreamy landscapes and whimsical animals to bold abstracts and imaginative scenes.

Along the way, friendly and experienced Periwinkle Art Studio instructors guide the process. Campers grow more confident as they explore color theory, composition, and visual storytelling. Just as important, they discover their own artistic voice through a balance of guided instruction and independent creation.

We provide everything campers need to jump right in. All supplies are included, from watercolor paints and brushes to palettes and specialty paper. Artists can focus fully on creating, experimenting, and having fun.

Join us for a magical, relaxing, and joyfully creative week of watercolor art at Gorton Center, where young artists will laugh, learn, explore, and leave with a collection of their very own watercolor masterpieces—and memories to last a lifetime!

Ages 7 – 12
