Is the graffiti summer camp safe for children?

Safety is our top priority! We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective suits for every camper. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated outdoor spaces or large studio areas. Our instructors are professional artists trained in group management, ensuring that every spray can is used responsibly while maintaining a fun, high-energy environment for the kids to express themselves safely.

What should my child wear to the workshop?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothes that you don't mind getting a little paint on, just in case! While we provide full protective gear including suits and gloves, sometimes creativity gets a bit messy. Closed-toe shoes are a must for safety while moving around the canvases and equipment. We’ll take care of the rest, from the paint to the inspiration!

Do the kids need prior art experience?

Not at all! Our Chicago summer camp programs are designed for all skill levels. Whether your child is a budding Picasso or has never held a spray can before, our artists guide them through every step. We start with basic lines and shapes before moving on to complex pieces, ensuring everyone feels proud of what they create by the end of the day.

Can the participants take their artwork home?

Yes! One of the best parts of the Graffitifun experience is that participants get to take home their own custom-painted canvas. It's a fantastic souvenir of their summer in Chicago and a great way to show off their new skills to friends and family. Larger group murals are usually photographed for everyone to keep a digital memory of the collaboration.

What is your booking and cancellation policy?

We are very flexible! You don't need to pay anything upfront when you book your summer camp session. We believe in our service so much that you only pay after the workshop is completed. If you need to adjust your booking, just let us know in advance. We also have backup artists ready to go, so we never cancel on you.

How long does a typical graffiti session last?

A typical summer camp session in Chicago lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives the campers enough time to learn the history of street art, practice their tagging techniques, and complete a final masterpiece. We can also customize the duration to fit into your specific camp schedule if you are looking for a shorter or longer creative activation.
