Do the kids need any previous art experience to join?

No experience is necessary! Our Machala summer camp workshops are designed for complete beginners. Our professional artists start with the basics, teaching youth how to hold a spray can, control pressure, and create clean lines. By the time the session ends, everyone will have created a piece of art they can be proud of, regardless of their initial skill level. It is all about discovery and having a blast!

Is it safe for children to use spray paint?

Safety is our absolute priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective overalls to keep everyone safe and clean. Our instructors are experienced professionals who supervise the group closely, ensuring that spray cans are used correctly and responsibly. We use low-pressure cans which are much easier and safer for younger creators to handle while they learn the ropes.

What should the participants wear to the workshop?

We recommend wearing old clothes and comfortable trainers that you don't mind getting a bit of 'artistic' splatter on. While we provide full-body protective overalls, paint has a sneaky way of finding its way onto sleeves or shoes! Since Machala can get quite warm, breathable clothing is a must. We provide all the professional gear, including masks and gloves, so you just need to bring your energy.

How long does a typical graffiti session last?

A standard summer camp session in Machala usually lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us plenty of time for a cool introduction to street art history, a demonstration of techniques, individual practice, and the final creation of a large-scale masterpiece. We find this timing is perfect for keeping energy levels high and focus sharp without the kids getting overtired.

What is the age limit for the summer camp participants?

Our summer camp activities are generally tailored for youth aged 8 and up. We find that children of this age have the hand strength to operate the spray nozzles and the focus to follow the creative steps. However, we can adapt our teaching style for slightly younger groups or teenagers to ensure the content is engaging and age-appropriate for everyone involved.

Can the group work together on one big project?

Absolutely! One of the coolest parts of our Machala workshops is the collaborative mural. While everyone gets to practice their own tags and designs, the finale usually involves the whole group working together on a massive piece of wall art. It’s a fantastic way to teach teamwork, communication, and the power of collective creativity. It’s always the highlight of the week!

Local culture

Machala is famous for its incredible seafood and its status as the banana capital of the world, but it also has a growing heartbeat of urban culture. The city’s bright light and tropical vibes provide the perfect backdrop for bold, colourful street art. We love bringing our graffiti summer camp Machala sessions here because the local youth have such a vibrant energy that reflects the spirit of El Oro province. ✨

While the city is known for the Monumento al Bananero, we’re more interested in the blank "canvases" found in the urban landscape! 🍌 Fun Fact: Did you know that the bright colours used in traditional Machaleño festivals often inspire the palettes our students choose for their graffiti pieces? We embrace that local flair in every workshop we host!

Pricing

Every summer camp is unique, so we don't do 'one size fits all' pricing. Whether you have a small group of teenagers or a massive summer youth squad, we'll create a package that fits your budget and goals perfectly. 💸
