What is the minimum age for the graffiti summer camp?

For our summer camp activities in Coimbra, we generally recommend a minimum age of 8. This ensures that the kids have the physical strength to handle the spray cans properly and can follow the safety instructions effectively. We use water-based or low-pressure cans for younger groups to make the experience as accessible and fun as possible!

Is spraying paint safe for children and teenagers?

Safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality FFP2 or FFP3 masks, protective gloves, and disposable overalls to keep clothes clean. Our professional artists supervise every step, ensuring the spray cans are used correctly. We also choose well-ventilated outdoor areas in Coimbra to ensure a safe and healthy environment for all campers.

Do the kids need to have prior drawing or painting skills?

Absolutely not! Our workshops are designed for absolute beginners. We start with the basics—how to hold a can and draw a simple line—and move up from there. The goal of our summer camp program is to build confidence and creativity, so everyone leaves feeling like a street art pro, regardless of their starting skill level.

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

We always have a Plan B! If the Coimbra weather isn't playing ball, we can move the session to a sheltered outdoor area or an indoor space with proper ventilation and floor protection. Because we have a large team of backup artists, we almost never have to cancel—the creative fun goes on, rain or shine!

How long does a typical graffiti session last?

Standard summer camp sessions in Coimbra usually last between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives the youth enough time to learn the techniques, practice their 'tags', and complete a group mural or individual canvas. We can adjust the duration based on your specific camp schedule and the age of the participants.

Can the children take their artwork home after the camp?

For summer camps, we offer two main options. The group can work together on a large communal wall or plastic film to create one massive masterpiece, or each participant can work on their own high-quality canvas. Most camps love the canvas option because the kids get to take their own artwork home as a souvenir!
