Do the kids need any previous art experience to join?

Absolutely! No prior artistic experience is needed for our Drogheda summer camp sessions. Our professional artists are expert mentors who specialize in teaching absolute beginners. We start with the basics of can control and safety before moving on to cool techniques like 3D shading and 'bubbles'. By the end of the week, even those who thought they couldn't draw a stick figure will be amazed at the masterpiece they've created!

Is spraying paint safe for children and teenagers?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective overalls for all participants. Our workshops take place in well-ventilated outdoor areas or specially set-up indoor spaces that meet all safety standards. Furthermore, we use professional-grade spray paint with lower VOC levels where possible, and our instructors are fully trained in site safety and youth supervision to ensure a worry-free experience for parents.

What should the participants wear to the workshop?

We recommend wearing 'old reliable' clothes—items you wouldn't mind getting a stray splash of paint on! While we provide full protective designer-style overalls and gloves, graffiti is a messy business and paint has a way of finding its way onto shoes or sleeves. Comfortable, closed-toe shoes are a must for safety. Think of it as your 'artist's uniform' for the week while we work on our big murals!

What happens if it rains during the summer camp?

The Irish weather can be a bit 'grand' one minute and pouring the next! In Drogheda, we always have a Plan B. If we have a heavy downpour, we move the activities to a covered area or an indoor space where we use specialized water-based paints or focus on sketching and design techniques until the sun peeks out again. We ensure the creative flow never stops, regardless of what the clouds are doing!

What is the age limit for the graffiti summer camp?

Our summer camp programs are generally designed for youth aged 8 to 18. We often split the groups by age—teens and younger kids—so that the teaching style and complexity of the projects match their developmental stage. For the older teens, we focus more on advanced street art history and complex 'wildstyle' lettering, while the younger crew focuses on bold shapes, characters, and vibrant colour blending.

Do they get to take their artwork home?

Yes, they certainly do! Every participant gets to create their own individual artwork on a high-quality canvas or board to take home and hang on their bedroom wall. In addition to their personal projects, the group usually collaborates on one massive 'hall of fame' style mural. It’s a fantastic way to remember their summer of street art and show off their new skills to family and friends.

How much does the summer camp cost per person?

Pricing typically ranges between €30 and €60 per person, depending on the duration of the camp and the number of participants. This includes all professional spray paints, safety gear, canvases, and expert tuition. Because we like to tailor our camps to the specific needs of the group, we recommend reaching out for a custom quote to get the best possible rate for your summer activity.

Looking for the ultimate creative outlet for your kids this summer in the Boyne Valley? Our graffiti summer camp in Drogheda is where urban culture meets legendary Irish history! We turn the traditional summer camp on its head by swapping badges for spray cans and tents for street art murals. Led by world-class professional artists, our workshops offer local youth a chance to dive deep into the vibrant world of street art in a safe, fun, and totally legal environment. Whether they are budding Picassos or have never held a marker before, our sessions are designed to boost confidence and unleash raw creativity. It’s about more than just paint; it’s about finding your voice and making some noise in the most colourful way possible. Ready to make your mark?

The experience

Why choose a graffiti camp over a standard sports camp? Because street art empowers young people to express themselves in a way that nothing else can. It’s cool, it’s contemporary, and it’s incredibly rewarding. Here is why the youth of Louth love our sessions:

Boosts confidence: Seeing a 10-foot mural you helped create gives an unmatched sense of achievement. ✨
Teaches teamwork: Large-scale graffiti is a team sport—everyone has to work together to make the piece work. 🤝
Safe & legal: we provide a structured environment to learn the craft without the risks of 'illegal' painting. 🛡️
Professional mentors: Learn from real-deal artists who live and breathe the culture. 🎤
Skill development: Improve fine motor skills, colour theory, and spatial awareness while having a blast. 🏆
No boring lectures: It’s 90% hands-on action from the minute we start! 🚀

Step by step

Introduction & safety briefing: We kick things off with a warm welcome and a breakdown of how to handle the spray cans safely while protecting ourselves and the environment.
Sketching the vision: Before hitting the wall, campers grab paper and markers to brainstorm their concepts, tags, and characters, learning the fundamentals of letter structure.
Mastering the nozzle: We move to the 'practice zone' where everyone learns 'can control'—how to make thin lines, fat flares, and smooth gradients.
Background techniques: Campers start their main projects by applying vibrant background colours and learning 'fading' techniques to create depth.
The outline: This is where the magic happens! Participants transfer their sketches to the wall or canvas using their newfound spraying skills.
Fill-ins and 3D: We add 'the meat' to the letters, filling them with colour and adding 3D effects or shadows to make the art pop off the surface.
Final detailing: Using specialized caps, we add highlights, 'shines', and sharp outlines to give the artwork a professional, polished finish.
The grand reveal: We finish the week with a mini-exhibition where parents can come and see the incredible murals and individual canvases created by the crew.

Good to know

Duration: Programs range from 2-hour taster sessions to full 5-day week-long camps.
Group sizes: We cater to small groups of 10 up to large youth organizations of 50+ (with multiple artists).
Included: High-quality spray paint, respiratory masks, gloves, protective overalls, and canvases.
Location: Various central Drogheda locations or we can come to your youth club/school grounds.
Safety: Fully insured artists with Garda vetting and comprehensive health & safety protocols.

Local culture

Drogheda isn't just one of Ireland's oldest towns; it's becoming a powerhouse of modern creativity. Nestled between the historic walls and the shimmering River Boyne, the town provides the perfect backdrop for our summer camp. We draw inspiration from the local scenery—from the majestic Viaduct to the legendary tales of the Battle of the Boyne—reimaging them through a modern street art lens. 🎨

Fun Fact: Did you know Drogheda is home to the 'Drawda' urban art trail? The town is already filled with massive, world-class murals that we often visit for inspiration during our camp sessions. We’re not just painting in the town; we’re becoming part of its growing artistic legacy! 🇮🇪
