What age groups can participate in the Jimma graffiti summer camp?

Our Jimma summer camps are specifically designed for kids and teenagers, generally ranging from ages 8 to 18. We group participants by age to ensure the teaching style and complexity of the graffiti projects are perfectly matched to their developmental stage. Younger kids focus on basic shapes and bright colors, while teens dive into advanced shading, 3D lettering, and complex mural design. Safety is always our top priority for every age group!

Do the kids need any prior art experience?

Absolutely! Most of our campers have never touched a spray can before. Our professional artists start with the absolute basics, covering safety, nozzle control, and simple line work. By the end of the week, you'll be amazed at the high-quality murals these beginners can produce. We foster a supportive, non-judgmental environment where every mistake is just a 'happy accident' on the way to creating something great.

What materials are included in the workshop fee?

We provide everything needed for a legendary creative experience! This includes high-quality spray cans in a rainbow of colors, protective gloves, masks, and overalls to keep clothes clean. We also provide the 'canvas'—whether that's a mobile wooden wall or individual boards. You just need to bring your energy, some old clothes just in case, and a 'can-do' attitude. We handle all the logistics!

Is spray painting safe for children and teenagers?

Safety is our number one rule. We use low-pressure spray cans that are easier to control and provide high-quality respiratory masks and gloves for all participants. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated outdoor or semi-outdoor spaces in Jimma. Furthermore, our professional instructors are trained in site safety and provide constant supervision to ensure the spray paint stays on the walls and away from faces!

What happens if the weather is bad or an artist is sick?

Graffitifun is famous for its reliability. We have a deep bench of professional backup artists ready to step in if an instructor falls ill. We also have flexible setups that can adapt to Jimma’s weather. Your summer camp schedule is important to us, and we guarantee that the creative fun will happen exactly as planned, with no last-minute cancellations.

Can we book a one-day workshop instead of a full summer camp?

While we specialize in summer camp intensives, we also offer shorter sessions for schools, festivals, and even private kids' parties in Jimma. If you are looking for a one-day workshop instead of a multi-day camp experience, we can definitely customize a program that fits your timeframe and budget. Just reach out to us with your ideas!

The experience

Why choose a graffiti-themed summer camp for your youth program in Jimma? It’s more than just painting; it's about empowerment! 🔥

Boosts confidence: Seeing a 2-meter tall artwork you created yourself gives an incredible sense of achievement. 🎤
Team building: Our collaborative murals require campers to communicate, plan, and work together toward a shared vision.
Safe environment: We take 'the street' out of street art by providing a controlled, professional, and safe setting.
True self-expression: Graffiti allows youth to find their unique voice and style through letters, colors, and characters. 🌈
Expert guidance: Our artists aren't just painters; they are mentors who love sharing their passion with the next generation. 🏆
Stress-free booking: With backup artists and no upfront payments, we make the organization's job easy!

Step by step

Introduction & safety briefing: We kick things off with a high-energy intro to graffiti culture and a vital safety demonstration on how to use the gear properly.
Mastering the nozzle: Campers learn 'can control'—practicing dots, lines, and fades to get a feel for how the paint moves. 🎨
Sketching the vision: Before hitting the big wall, everyone sketches their ideas on paper, planning out letters and characters.
First strokes: Participants move to the practice wall to apply their sketches, learning how to scale up their art from paper to mural.
Color & filling: This is where the magic happens! We teach color theory and techniques for smooth filling and vibrant gradients. ✨
Outline & highlights: Artists learn the 'power line' and how to add highlights and 3D effects to make their work pop off the wall.
Collaborative mural: The group works together on a massive, unified piece of street art that represents their collective camp experience. 🏆
The grand reveal: We host a 'gallery walk' where campers present their work, followed by a photo session to capture the memories.

Good to know

Our graffiti summer camps are built to be hassle-free and high-impact. Each session typically lasts between 2 to 4 hours per day, with full camp programs running from 3 to 5 days. We maintain a strict student-to-artist ratio of no more than 15:1 to ensure everyone gets personalized coaching. 🎨

Included: All premium spray paint, protective gear (masks, gloves, overalls), and canvases.
Group Sizes: We accommodate groups from 10 to 100+ participants.
Safety: Professional-grade respiratory protection and non-toxic paint practices are standard.
Location: We can come to your school, community center, or use one of our partner creative spaces in Jimma.

Local culture

Jimma, the capital of the historic Kaffa Province, is a city built on the rich aromas of coffee and a deep sense of community. While it is famous for the Aba Jifar Palace and its lush greenery, we are adding a modern, urban pulse to its streets. Our graffiti summer camps lean into Jimma’s unique vibe—incorporating local patterns and the energetic spirit of the Jimma University crowd into our designs.

Fun Fact: Did you know Jimma is often called the "Green City"? We love teaching our campers how to blend 'urban' street art styles with the natural beauty of the surrounding forest landscapes! 🌳🏙️
