Is the graffiti workshop safe for children during the summer camp?

Safety is our number one priority in Goma. Every summer camp participant is provided with high-quality protective gear, including masks, gloves, and overalls to keep clothes clean. Our instructors are professional artists who are trained in safety protocols and use only high-standard, low-odour spray paints. We ensure that our outdoor painting areas are well-ventilated and that children are supervised at all times during the creative process.

Does this activity encourage illegal graffiti?

Absolutely not! While we teach the techniques used by street artists, we focus heavily on the 'art' aspect and the importance of legal spaces. We discuss the history of graffiti and how it has evolved into a respected form of contemporary art. Our goal is to provide a positive outlet for self-expression, teaching kids to respect their environment while finding their unique creative voice in Goma.

What should the campers wear and bring?

We recommend that kids wear comfortable clothes that they don't mind getting a bit of paint on—just in case! Although we provide full protective suits and gloves, spray paint can be unpredictable. Comfortable shoes are a must as we will be standing and moving around the canvases. Aside from that, just bring some sunscreen, plenty of water, and a big dose of imagination!

What is the minimum age for participation?

Our Goma summer camp activities are designed for youth aged 6 and up. We tailor the complexity of the workshop to the age group. Younger children might focus more on stencil work and basic colour blending, while older teens can dive deep into complex 'piece' building, 3D effects, and advanced can control. We make sure every child feels successful regardless of their age or artistic experience.

How long does a typical graffiti session last?

A standard high-energy session usually lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. For summer camps, we can adapt this into a half-day intensive or even a multi-day project where the kids work toward a large-scale mural. This duration ensures they have enough time to learn the theory, practice their hand control, and finish a masterpiece they are proud of without losing focus.

Do the kids get to take their artwork home?

Yes! One of the best parts of our Goma workshop is that every camper gets to create their own individual piece on a canvas or wooden panel. This means they have a physical souvenir of their summer experience to take home and hang on their bedroom wall. For larger camp groups, we also often create one giant collaborative mural that stays with the camp organisers.

What if a child has no artistic talent or experience?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for everyone, from those who can't draw a straight line to budding Picassos. Our professional artists use a step-by-step method that builds confidence quickly. We use tools like stencils and tape to help beginners achieve clean lines and impressive results right away. It's all about the process, the fun, and discovering new talents!

The experience

Why choose a graffiti workshop for your Goma summer camp? Because traditional crafts are great, but nothing beats the "cool factor" of a spray can! Here is why we are the top choice for creative youth activities:

Total creative freedom: We don't do "stay inside the lines." We encourage kids to dream big and paint bigger! 🚀
Professional mentors: Our artists aren't just teachers; they are active street artists who inspire through their own work.
Confidence boost: Seeing a massive, colourful piece come to life gives campers a huge sense of accomplishment. 💪
Safety first: We provide top-tier protective gear and expert supervision so you can relax while they create.
Zero stress for you: We bring everything. No mess, no fuss, just pure artistic energy brought straight to your location. ✨
Inclusive fun: Boys, girls, teens, and younger kids all find common ground in the universal language of street art.

Step by step

Intro & inspiration: We start with a high-energy intro to the world of street art, showing the kids what's possible.
Sketching the vision: Campers grab paper and pencils to map out their tags or characters, finding their unique style.
Safety briefing: We suit everyone up in protective gear and explain how to use the equipment responsibly.
The first spray: Under expert guidance, the kids learn 'can control'—how to pulse the nozzle for different effects.
Outline & fill: Participants move to their canvases, laying down the foundation of their artwork with bold colours.
Finesse & details: We teach advanced tricks like 'fading', '3D shadows', and adding highlight 'shines' to make the art pop.
The final reveal: We hold a mini-exhibition where every camper gets to show off their work to the rest of the group.

Good to know

Duration: Flexible sessions from 1.5 hours to full-day intensives.
Group size: We cater to small groups of 10 or large camp takeovers of 100+ (with multiple artists).
Included: All spray paint, masks, gloves, protective suits, and canvases.
Safety: Professional supervision at all times with eco-friendly, low-odour paints where possible.
Location: We are mobile! Use our Goma-based artists at your venue or a dedicated outdoor spot.

Local culture

Goma is a city of incredible resilience and vibrant culture, and its street art scene is no different. Tucked between the volcanic peaks of Nyiragongo and the vast waters of Lake Kivu, the local aesthetic is a mix of bold African patterns and modern urban influences. Our workshops tap into this local spirit, encouraging campers to draw inspiration from the colourful markets and the stunning natural landscape surrounding the city.

Fun Fact: Did you know that Goma is known for its "Chukudus"? These giant wooden scooters are unique to the city and serve as a fantastic subject for local graffiti artists looking to celebrate Goma's hardworking spirit! 🇨🇩

By bringing our graffiti workshops to your summer camp, you're connecting the youth of Goma with a global art movement while celebrating their local roots. It's more than just painting; it's about building community in one of the most dynamic cities in the DR Congo.
