How long does a typical summer camp workshop last?

Most Darwin workshops last between 2 and 3 hours. This gives the kids enough time to learn the basic strokes, understand can control, and complete their main masterpiece on the wall or canvas. We find this is the 'sweet spot' for keeping energy levels high and focus sharp without the youngsters getting too tired under the Territory sun.

Is it safe for kids to use spray paint?

Absolutely! Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality masks, gloves, and protective suits for every participant. Our artists are seasoned pros who supervise the group closely, ensuring everyone uses the cans correctly and stays in the designated spray zones. Plus, we use low-pressure cans which are much easier and safer for younger hands to control.

What should the kids wear to the graffiti camp?

Comfort is key! We recommend wearing old clothes and sneakers that you don't mind getting a bit of 'artistic splatter' on. Even though we provide protective suits, spray paint has a way of finding its way onto shoes or sleeves. Since Darwin can get pretty warm, breathable fabrics are a must for our outdoor sessions.

Do the children need prior art experience?

Not at all! Our summer camp activities are designed for absolute beginners. Our artist mentors break everything down into simple, easy-to-follow steps. Whether they are naturally artistic or have never held a spray can before, we guarantee they’ll walk away with a piece of art they are proud of and a massive boost in confidence.

What happens if it rains on the day?

We are experts at pivoting! If the Darwin weather decides to treat us to a sudden tropical downpour, we usually move the workshop to a covered outdoor area or an indoor space with proper ventilation. We have several backup locations across the city to ensure the creative fun doesn't have to stop just because of a bit of rain.

What is the minimum age for participants?

We generally recommend our graffiti summer camps for ages 8 and up. This is usually when kids have the hand strength to press the spray nozzles effectively and the focus to follow the safety instructions. However, we can adapt the program for slightly younger groups using water-based paint markers or stencils if needed—just give us a bell!

The experience

Why choose a Graffitfun summer camp for your youngsters? Because we don't just paint—we create memories that stick! Darwin is the perfect place for outdoor creativity, and here is why our workshops are the talk of the town:

Expert Mentors: Work directly with real street artists who live and breathe the culture. 🎤
No Stress Booking: We have backup artists ready to go, so your event is never cancelled. 💪
Pay Later: No upfront payment required—your satisfaction is our priority, so you pay after the fun. 🏆
Boost Confidence: Seeing a giant mural come to life gives kids a massive sense of achievement. ✨
Safety First: We use top-tier protective gear and family-friendly paint products. 🛡️
Creative Freedom: There are no 'mistakes' in graffiti, only new directions for your art! 🚀

Step by step

Safety briefing and gear up: We start by getting everyone into their protective gear and explaining the 'golden rules' of using spray cans safely and respectfully.
Introduction to the caps: Kids learn about the different 'caps' (nozzles) that create thin lines, fat lines, and amazing fades.
The first sketch: Our pro artists show the group how to transition an idea from a piece of paper to a large-scale wall or canvas.
Can control practice: Everyone gets some 'wall time' to practice basic movements, circles, and lines to get a feel for the pressure.
Filling in the blanks: Once the outline is done, it's time for the vibrant colours! We teach the kids how to fill large areas smoothly.
Outlining and details: This is where the magic happens! We add the sharp kontours and 'shines' that make the graffiti pop.
Character work or stenciling: Depending on the theme, we might add funky characters or custom stencils to give the piece extra flair.
Group photo and cleanup: We finish with a legendary group photo in front of the finished masterpiece to celebrate the crew's hard work!

Good to know

We’ve got everything sorted so you can just turn up and create. Our Darwin workshops typically run for 2 to 3 hours and are fully mobile—we can come to your community centre, school, or use one of our dedicated street art spots. We cater to groups of all sizes, from small crews to large holiday programs.

Included: All spray paint, protective suits, masks, gloves, and caps.
Safety: Professional supervision by experienced artists with full insurance.
Flexibility: We operate year-round, adjusting for the Darwin 'Build-up' or wet season with indoor options.
Extras: Use our Tag Creator online to prep your designs before the camp even starts!

Local culture

Darwin might be famous for its crocs and spectacular sunsets, but its street art scene is absolutely kicking! From the world-class murals seen during the Darwin Street Art Festival to the hidden gems in the CBD laneways, the city is a canvas waiting to be explored. Our summer camp activities take inspiration from the rich cultural heritage and tropical colours of the Northern Territory. We encourage kids to draw inspiration from the lush local flora or the vibrant energy of the Mindil Beach markets.

Fun Fact: Did you know Darwin hosts one of Australia's most prominent street art festivals every year? It has transformed the city into an international destination for muralists, which provides the perfect backdrop for our budding young artists to find their own style! 🎨
