The SE Portland
Art Camp Experience!
SE Portland Camps are held on the Reed College Campus. This location allows us to carry over our art and nature themed camps on the east-side of Portland. Camps are held both indoors and outdoors on Reed’s campus, rich in architectural history and natural landmarks. Map here.
Campers are introduced to step-by-step skills in drawing, painting, mixed media and clay! Kids practice balancing their own ideas with what they've learned to make unique artwork (not crafty stuff). Both weeks are uniquely themed, so be ready for lots of creative encounters!
