Is the spray paint safe for children and teenagers?

Absolutely! We strictly use high-quality, low-odour spray paint and provide all necessary safety gear, including professional-grade masks and gloves. Our instructors are experienced graffiti artists who prioritise a safe, supervised environment where kids can express themselves properly. We advocate for 'legal walls' and teach the importance of respecting public property while fostering a love for urban art. Safety and fun go hand-in-hand here in Canberra!

Do the kids need any previous artistic experience?

No prior drawing or painting skills are needed at all! Our workshops are designed to take beginners from 'zero to hero' in a single session. We start with the basics of 'can control' and simple lettering before moving on to more complex pieces. Our goal is to boost confidence and show every participant that they have a unique creative voice, regardless of their artistic background. Everyone leaves with something they're proud of!

What should my child wear to the graffiti camp?

While we provide protective ponchos and gloves, we always recommend that participants wear 'old' clothes that you don't mind getting a few speckles of paint on. Closed-toe shoes (like sneakers) are a must for safety. Even with protection, graffiti can be a bit messy when you're getting stuck into a masterpiece! It's all part of the authentic street art experience during our Canberra summer sessions.

How long does a typical graffiti workshop session last?

Our summer camp sessions in Canberra typically run for about 2 to 3 hours. This gives the group plenty of time to learn the history of street art, practice their techniques on practice boards, and then complete a final collective mural or individual canvas. It’s a fast-paced, high-energy timeframe that keeps everyone engaged from the first shake of the can to the final signature tag.

What happens if it rains on the day of the workshop?

If the Canberra weather decides not to play ball, don't worry! We have access to several covered outdoor locations and indoor spaces where we can safely use specialized water-based spray paints if necessary. We also have a dedicated team of backup artists, so your workshop will never be cancelled due to staff illness. We’re committed to making sure the creative fun happens rain or shine!

When do I need to pay for the summer camp workshop?

We believe in our experience so much that we don't require any payment until after the workshop is finished. You can book your spot, get the kids creative, and only pay once you've seen the smiles and the incredible artwork they've produced. Our focus is 100% on satisfaction and making sure every young artist in Canberra has an unforgettable summer experience with Graffitifun.

The experience

Why choose a Graffitifun summer camp session for your kids or youth group? It’s more than just painting—it’s about character building and community! 🌟

Boost Confidence: Seeing a giant mural come to life from their own hands gives kids a massive sense of achievement.
Authentic Artists: Learn from the best—our instructors are active members of the street art community who live and breathe this stuff. 💪
Total Safety: We provide top-tier protective gear and low-odour paints, so the only thing they'll be catching is the creative bug.
No Stress Booking: With our backup artist guarantee and no-upfront-payment policy, planning your Canberra summer activity is a breeze.
Express Yourself: In a world of rules, graffiti offers a unique way for youth to find their own style and voice. 🎤
Coolest Factor: Let’s be real—nothing beats telling your friends you spent the summer spray painting legally in the city!

Step by step

The safety briefing: We kick things off with a quick chat about safety, gear, and the 'dos and don'ts' of using spray cans effectively. ✨
Basics of can control: Our pros teach the kids how to hold the can, adjust pressure, and master 'nozzles' for different line widths.
Sketching the vision: Participants grab markers and paper to plan their tags and 'throw-ups' before touching the wall. 🎨
First lines: Time to shake the cans! We start with practice strokes on test boards to get the feel of the paint flow.
Outline and fill: The young artists move to the main surface, learning how to fill large areas smoothly and create sharp outlines.
Adding the 'pop': We teach advanced techniques like 3D shadowing, highlights, and 'force fields' to make the art jump off the wall. 🎤
Detailing: Using specialized caps, the kids add fine details, patterns, and their personal signature to their work.
The big reveal: We step back, admire the collective mural or individual pieces, and take plenty of photos for the 'gram.
Clean up: We tidy up the site, pack away the gear, and leave the space looking better than we found it! 🏆

Good to know

Duration: Sessions typically run between 2 and 3 hours – perfect for keeping energy levels high.
Group Sizes: We cater to everything from small groups of 5 to large youth organisations of 50+.
What’s Included: All professional spray paint, protective masks, gloves, ponchos, and canvases or mural walls. 🧤
Expert Instructors: Every session is led by a professional graffiti artist with a valid Working with Vulnerable People (WWVP) registration.
Safety First: We use age-appropriate gear and high-quality, low-toxicity paint to ensure a safe environment for everyone.

Local culture

Canberra might be the home of politics, but it’s also got a killer underground art scene. From the legendary Tocumwal Lane to the rotating murals in Braddon, our city is a canvas waiting to be explored. We draw inspiration from the diverse public art found throughout the ACT, encouraging our summer camp participants to look at the 'Bush Capital' through a new, colourful lens. 🖌️

Fun Fact: Did you know Canberra has several "Free Walls" where street art is completely legal? It’s part of the city’s commitment to supporting local artists and keeping our urban spaces vibrant! 🇦🇺

Pricing

Our graffiti workshops are priced competitively to ensure every young Aussie has a chance to try their hand at street art. Pricing typically ranges from A$40 to A$90 per person, depending on the number of participants, the duration of the camp, and the specific materials requested (like individual canvases to take home).
