What age groups can participate in the graffiti summer camp?

Our Kimberley summer camp activities are designed for youth aged 8 to 18. We group participants by age and skill level to ensure everyone feels comfortable and challenged. Whether they are primary school learners or teenagers looking for a cool creative outlet, our professional artists adapt their teaching style to match the energy and capability of the group. Safety and fun are always our top priorities for every age!

Do the kids need any prior art experience?

Not at all! Our workshops are perfect for absolute beginners. We start with the basic "can control" techniques and move on to more complex lettering and shading. Our goal is to help every camper discover their inner artist, even if they have never picked up a spray can before. By the end of the session, they will be amazed at what they have created.

Is the spray paint safe for children to use?

Safety is our number one rule. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective overalls to keep everyone safe and clean. We only use professional-grade spray paint in well-ventilated outdoor areas. Our instructors are experienced professionals who provide constant supervision and guidance on how to use the equipment responsibly and effectively during the summer camp session.

What should participants wear to the workshop?

We recommend wearing old clothes and comfortable sneakers that you don't mind getting a little bit of paint on. While we provide protective overalls, graffiti can sometimes be a messy business! Since Kimberley can get quite hot in the summer, breathable fabrics and a sun hat for outdoor sessions are also a great idea to stay cool while being creative.

What happens if the weather is too hot or it rains?

The South African sun can be intense, so we always plan for the weather. We use shaded outdoor areas or well-ventilated indoor spaces if the heat becomes too much. If there is heavy rain (which is rare in a Kimberley summer but possible!), we have backup indoor locations ready to go or can reschedule the session. We ensure the creative fun never stops, regardless of the weather.

How long does a typical graffiti session last?

A standard summer camp session usually lasts between 2 and 3 hours. This allows enough time for the introduction, safety briefing, technique practice, and the final creation of a masterpiece. We find this is the "sweet spot" where kids stay fully engaged and energised without getting tired. Longer multi-day programmes are also available for those who want a deeper dive.

Do the participants get to keep their artwork?

Yes, they do! Every participant gets to take home their own custom-painted canvas or board. It is a fantastic souvenir of their summer experience in Kimberley. For larger group projects like mural walls, we make sure to take plenty of high-quality photos so everyone has a digital memory of the massive artwork they helped create together with their new friends.

Local culture

Kimberley might be famous for the Big Hole and its rich mining history, but there is a growing creative pulse in the city that we love to tap into. From the historic streets of the city centre to the vibrant townships, Kimberley’s youth are looking for fresh ways to express their identity. Our workshops celebrate this local spirit, encouraging campers to draw inspiration from the unique landscapes and heritage of the Northern Cape. We believe that street art is a modern way to continue the tradition of storytelling that has existed in this region for centuries.

Fun Fact: Did you know Kimberley was the first city in the Southern Hemisphere to have electric street lights? We like to think our bright and bold graffiti designs are just another way to keep the city glowing with creativity! ✨
