What should my child wear to the graffiti summer camp?

For our Accra summer camps, we suggest kids wear comfortable clothes that you don't mind getting a bit of paint on! While we provide high-quality protective overalls and gloves, graffiti is an energetic and messy art form. Sturdy, closed-toe shoes are also a must for safety while moving around the workshop space. We want everyone to feel free to create without worrying about a few splashes of colour on their trainers! 🎨

Do the children need previous art experience to join?

Not at all! Our professional street artists are experts at teaching absolute beginners. We start with the basic techniques—how to hold the can, controlling pressure, and basic lines—before moving on to more complex pieces. Whether your child is already a budding artist or has never touched a spray can, we ensure they feel confident and inspired to create something they are proud of by the end of the session. ✨

Is the spray paint safe for children to use?

Safety is our absolute priority. We use high-quality spray paints and provide all necessary protective gear, including professional-grade masks, gloves, and overalls. Our workshops take place in well-ventilated areas or outdoor spaces across Accra to ensure fresh air circulation. Additionally, our experienced facilitators provide a comprehensive safety briefing at the start of every camp to ensure everyone uses the equipment correctly and stays safe while having fun. 🛡️

How long does a typical graffiti session last?

Our Accra summer camp workshops typically last between 2 to 3 hours. This gives the youth enough time to learn the history of graffiti, practice their can control on our practice walls, and finally complete their own masterpiece on a personal canvas. We find this duration is the 'sweet spot' for keeping energy levels high and focus sharp without the kids getting overtired in the Ghana heat. 🕒

Will the kids be painting on public buildings?

While we are huge fans of the amazing street art found in areas like Osu or Jamestown, our workshops are conducted on legally designated practice walls or mobile wooden partitions that we set up specifically for the event. We teach our students the importance of 'legal walls' and the difference between street art and vandalism, encouraging them to respect public spaces while expressing their creativity responsibly. 🌍

Do the participants get to keep their artwork?

Absolutely! One of the best parts of our summer camp experience in Accra is that every participant gets to take home their own custom-designed canvas. It’s a fantastic souvenir of their creative journey and something they can hang on their bedroom wall with pride. We also take plenty of photos during the session so the kids can share their 'work in progress' with friends and family. 📸

What is the minimum or maximum group size?

We believe the more, the merrier! However, to ensure everyone gets enough individual attention and 'can-time', we usually work with groups of 10 to 20 per artist. For larger summer camps in Accra, we simply bring in more of our professional artists to keep the ratios small and the fun levels high. This way, every child gets the guidance they need to master the art of the spray can. 🤜🤛

The experience

Why choose a graffiti workshop for your Accra summer camp? It’s not just about the paint; it’s about the process! Here’s why it’s a hit every time:

Complete Creative Freedom: There are no 'mistakes' in graffiti, only new layers! It’s the perfect way to boost self-esteem. 🎨
Team Building: Many of our activities involve collaborating on a large wall, teaching kids how to communicate and work together. 🤝
Professional Guidance: Our artists aren't just talented; they're mentors who teach the history and ethics of the craft. 🏆
Safe & Controlled: We provide a structured environment with top-tier safety gear, making the 'edgy' world of street art accessible and safe. 🛡️
Take-Home Memories: Every participant leaves with a physical piece of art they created themselves, providing a lasting sense of achievement. ✨
Mobile & Flexible: We bring the entire setup to your location in Accra, so you don't have to worry about transport logistics! 🚚

Step by step

Intro & inspiration: We kick things off with a high-energy look at the history of street art and some local Accra inspiration.
Safety first: Every camper gets geared up with masks, gloves, and overalls while we cover the essential safety 'golden rules'.
Can control basics: Before hitting the big walls, we teach the youth how to hold the can, shake it properly, and choose different nozzles (caps).
The 'first lines' practice: Under the guidance of our pros, participants practice dots, thin lines, and thick flares on a practice surface.
Sketching the masterpiece: Time to get the ideas on paper! Campers sketch out their tags or characters before moving to the canvas.
Filling & fading: This is where the magic happens—learning how to fill shapes evenly and create those cool 'fades' and colour gradients.
Outlining & highlights: We show the kids how to make their art 'pop' by adding sharp outlines and those all-important white highlights.
Final touches & photos: Once the paint is dry, we do a group showcase and take photos of everyone with their amazing new creations.
Takeaway art: Every camper packs up their finished canvas, ready to show it off at home!

Local culture

Accra is a city that pulses with artistic energy, from the world-famous murals in Jamestown to the trendy galleries of North Ridge. Street art has become a vital part of the city's identity, especially highlighted during the annual Chale Wote Street Art Festival, which turns the historic streets into a living museum. Our summer camp taps into this local spirit, encouraging youth to find their own 'visual voice' in a city that celebrates bold expression.

Fun Fact: Did you know that some of the most famous muralists in West Africa started right here in Accra? The city's street art scene is considered one of the most innovative on the continent, blending traditional Ghanaian symbols (Adinkra) with modern graffiti styles! 🇬🇭
