What is the recommended age for the summer camp participants?

Our graffiti summer camp activities in Kananga are designed for youth aged 8 to 18. We split participants into age-appropriate groups to ensure the teaching style and level of complexity match their development. Younger children focus on basic shapes and safety, while teenagers dive deeper into complex lettering, shading techniques, and the history of street art as a form of social expression.

Is spray painting safe for children and teenagers?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective suits to all participants. Our workshops use low-pressure spray cans which are easier to control, and all sessions are led by professional artists who maintain constant supervision. We also ensure that the painting area is well-ventilated, usually held outdoors or in large open-sided structures common in Kasai-Central.

Do the kids need prior artistic experience to join?

Not at all! Our 'Summer camp creative activities' are built for everyone, from those who have never held a spray can to experienced young artists. Our instructors use a step-by-step method that builds confidence quickly. We start with basic lines on practice surfaces before moving to the final masterpiece, ensuring every camper feels proud of what they’ve created by the end of the day.

What should the participants wear and bring along?

We recommend wearing old clothes and comfortable shoes that you don't mind getting a bit of paint on. Although we provide protective overalls, graffiti can be a messy business! It’s also a good idea to bring a hat, sunscreen, and a water bottle to stay hydrated during the Kananga heat. We provide all the professional art supplies, including cans, caps, and canvases.

Where in Kananga do the graffiti workshops take place?

In Kananga, we have several outdoor locations and partner venues with large wall spaces or mobile partitions. We can also come directly to your existing summer camp site or community centre if there is a suitable outdoor area. If it rains, we don't stop the fun—we usually move to a covered area or shift focus to indoor sketching and design workshops until the clouds clear.

Do the campers get to keep their artwork?

Absolutely! Depending on the chosen package, campers often get to create their own individual wooden panels or canvases to take home as a permanent souvenir of their summer. For larger group projects, like a communal wall mural, we take high-quality digital photos and videos of the process and the final result so every participant has a digital portfolio of their work.

What is your cancellation and booking policy?

We provide a highly flexible booking system with no upfront payment required. You can book your preferred dates, and we only settle the payment after the workshop is completed. If you need to change your plans, just let us know in advance. We also have backup artists on standby to ensure that your summer camp activity never gets cancelled due to staff illness.

The experience

Why choose a Graffitifun workshop for your summer programme in Kananga? Because we offer more than just a painting lesson—we provide an experience that sticks with kids for a lifetime! 🎤

Unleash Raw Creativity: Unlike traditional art classes, graffiti is big, bold, and lets youth express themselves on a massive scale. 🎨
Confidence Booster: Seeing a 5-meter mural that you helped create is an incredible feeling for any teenager. 💪
Professional Mentors: Our artists aren't just teachers; they are active street artists who share real-world tips and tricks.
Zero Risk Booking: With our "pay after the workshop" policy and backup artist guarantee, your event is in safe hands. ✨
Teamwork in Action: Nothing builds community like working together to finish a giant collective masterpiece. 🤝
Cool Factor: Let's be honest—nothing is cooler to a kid than being told it's okay to (legally) paint the walls! 🏆

Step by step

Introduction & Safety: We start with a high-energy kick-off where our artists introduce the world of graffiti and demonstrate how to use the safety gear and spray cans correctly. ✨
Sketching the Concept: Every great mural begins on paper. Campers brainstorm themes and sketch out their tags using markers to plan their colour schemes and letter shapes. 🎨
Mastering the Can: Before touching the main wall, youth practice basic techniques like dots, lines, and fades on practice boards to get a feel for the pressure.
Outline Construction: Under our guidance, participants begin "sketching" with paint, laying down the skeletal structure of their large-scale graffiti piece. ✍️
Filling & Colouring: This is where the magic happens! Campers work together to fill in the letters with vibrant CDF-friendly colours, learning about gradients and blending.
The Highlight & Outline: We teach the pros' secrets—adding "seconds" and "highlights" to make the letters pop off the wall and look three-dimensional. 🔥
Final Details & Character Work: Kids add "bits" (decorative elements) and perhaps a fun character to complete the scene, making the artwork truly unique to Kananga.
Group Photo & Mini-Exhibition: We celebrate the hard work with a photoshoot in front of the mural, allowing the kids to showcase their masterpiece to friends and family. 📸
Clean-up & Wrap-up: We teach the importance of respecting the environment by tidying the site and chatting about how they can continue their creative journey.

Good to know

Duration: Sessions range from 1.5 to 3 hours, or full-day "intensive" camp programmes. ⏱️

What's Included: Professional spray cans (caps included), canvases or wall space, protective overalls, gloves, and high-spec masks.

Local culture

Kananga is a city with a powerful spirit and a growing appreciation for contemporary culture. Set against the backdrop of the Lulua River, the city’s vibrant energy provides the perfect inspiration for young artists. While street art is still a fresh concept here, the local youth are naturally gifted with rhythm and visual flair, which translates perfectly into the bold strokes of graffiti lettering. 🎨

Our workshops celebrate this local identity, encouraging campers to incorporate elements of Kananga’s heritage or even local symbols into their designs. We believe in providing a platform where the next generation of Congolese creatives can find their voice. 🏆

Fun Fact: Did you know that Kananga was originally founded as Luluabourg? Just like the city evolved its name, graffiti allows youth to evolve their own "tags" and artistic identities as they grow!

Pricing

Our summer camp packages are designed to be affordable while maintaining the highest quality of materials and instruction. We offer various tiers based on the duration and the materials used (e.g., individual canvases vs. communal murals).

Price Range: FC50,000 - FC120,000 per person.

Note: Final pricing depends on your group size, the length of the workshop, and the specific setup required. We don't require any payment until the workshop is successfully completed! 💸
