What age group is the graffiti summer camp for?

Our graffiti summer camp is designed for young creators aged 8 to 18. We group participants by age and experience level to ensure everyone feels comfortable and challenged. Whether they are a primary schooler looking for a fun holiday activity or a teenager wanting to hone their artistic style, our professional artists tailor their mentoring to suit every skill level and personality. Everyone is welcome to join the crew!

Is it safe for kids to use spray paint?

Safety is our top priority! we provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective overalls to keep clothes clean and lungs safe. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated outdoor or semi-outdoor spaces. Additionally, our instructors are experienced professionals who provide a full safety briefing before any spray cans are even touched. We make sure the environment is controlled, supportive, and 100% focused on safe creative expression.

Do participants need previous art experience?

Not at all! Our Dunedin summer camp is perfect for absolute beginners. We start with the basics—how to hold a can, pressure control, and simple line work. Most of our students have never touched a spray can before they arrive. By the end of the session, they are always amazed at the high-quality mural they’ve helped create. It’s all about building confidence through step-by-step guidance.

What should my child bring to the workshop?

We’ve got it all covered! We provide professional-grade spray paint in a huge range of colours, caps (nozzles), protective gear (overalls, masks, gloves), and the surfaces we’ll be painting on. For the Dunedin sessions, students just need to bring their own lunch, a water bottle, sunblock, and a hat. We recommend wearing old sneakers just in case a stray drop of paint lands on them!

What happens if it rains on the day?

While New Zealand weather can be a bit unpredictable, we have backup plans! We use sheltered areas or indoor spray-proof setups if the Dunner rain decides to make an appearance. We also have a dedicated team of backup artists available, so you don't have to worry about last-minute cancellations. The creative fun happens rain or shine, ensuring your summer holiday plans stay right on track.

How long does a typical graffiti session last?

Standard sessions usually run between 1.5 to 3 hours, depending on the specific camp package you choose. For our full-day summer experiences, we mix in sketching, world-building, and collaborative mural painting with breaks for snacks and chats. This timeframe allows enough room for kids to learn the theory, practice their technique, and complete a final piece of art they can be proud of without feeling rushed.

Do you teach the kids about the legal aspects of graffiti?

We focus on the legal, artistic side of street art. Our instructors teach the history of the movement and the importance of respecting public property. By providing a legitimate outlet and a proper canvas, we teach youth that graffiti is a powerful tool for community beautification and personal expression when done correctly. We aim to inspire the next generation of muralists who contribute positively to Dunedin’s famous street art scene.

Local culture

Dunedin is New Zealand’s street art capital of the south, known for the incredible Dunedin Street Art Trail that weaves through the city's heritage buildings. Our summer camp takes inspiration from the massive murals found in the Warehouse Precinct and near the Octagon. We want our students to feel connected to the local creative vibe that makes 'Dunners' so unique.

Fun Fact: Did you know Dunedin is home to some of the tallest murals in the Southern Hemisphere? Our workshop celebrates this local legacy by teaching kids they can be part of the city's vibrant visual story. 💪
