Vibe of Portland

Vibe of Portland is a nonprofit organization providing accessible art and music education for youth.

Each summer, Vibe offers half-day and full-day art camps for children ages 5–14, encouraging imaginative thinking and creative exploration.

Programs are held at Vibe Studios in southeast Portland and at community locations throughout the city.

About the activity:

Vibe’s Animals in Nature Summer Camp invites young artists to explore the natural world through art, imagination, and storytelling. This week-long camp blends creative expression with engaging, age-appropriate literacy experiences, all inspired by animals and the environments they call home. New for 2026, each camp includes a built-in literacy component that supports early reading comprehension and language development. Through daily read-alouds, group conversations, and art-connected literacy activities, campers build foundational skills in a joyful, hands-on way where reading naturally enhances creativity. Throughout the week, campers draw and paint animals and landscapes using line, shape, and color, sculpt animals and imagined creatures using clay and mixed media, and create nature-inspired crafts with recycled and natural materials. Daily storytelling sessions spark discussion, vocabulary building, and story-based artmaking, while collaborative group projects encourage teamwork, confidence, and appreciation for the beauty and diversity of the natural world.
