Do the kids need any previous art experience?

Absolutely! No prior painting or drawing experience is required for our summer camp activities. Our professional artists are expert mentors who specialise in teaching the basics to total beginners. We guide the youth through every step, from holding the spray can correctly to layering colours, ensuring everyone walks away with a piece of art they are proud of. It’s all about having a go and enjoying the process!

Is the graffiti workshop safe for teenagers and children?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality protective gear, including masks, gloves, and overalls, to keep everyone safe and clean. We use low-pressure spray cans that are easier for younger hands to control, and all sessions are supervised by experienced professionals who ensure a controlled, respectful environment. We always work in well-ventilated outdoor or semi-outdoor spaces to ensure maximum safety for all participants.

How long does a typical graffiti session last?

Our summer camp sessions in Manizales typically last between 1.5 and 3 hours. This timeframe is perfect for keeping energy levels high while allowing enough time to learn techniques, practice on a practice wall, and complete a final masterpiece. We can also adapt the duration to fit into your specific camp schedule if you are looking for a shorter high-energy burst or a longer deep-dive.

What materials are included in the workshop?

We provide everything! Your booking includes premium spray cans in a huge variety of vibrant colours, protective clothing (ponchos/overalls, gloves, and masks), and the surfaces to paint on—whether that’s a communal wall or individual canvases for the participants to take home. You just need to bring your enthusiasm and wear clothes that you don't mind getting a tiny bit of dust on.

What happens if it rains on the day of the workshop?

If the Manizales clouds decide to open up, we’ve got your back. We usually have indoor backup locations or covered outdoor areas ready to go so the creative flow isn't interrupted. Furthermore, because we have a large team of backup artists, we can guarantee that your event will proceed as planned even if an instructor is unwell. We are committed to making sure your summer camp schedule stays on track.

What is the minimum and maximum group size?

We are incredibly flexible! Whether you have a small group of 10 or a massive camp of 100+, we can scale our team and materials to match your needs. For very large groups, we often rotate participants through different 'stations' or work on one massive collaborative mural that everyone contributes to. Just let us know your numbers, and we will create a custom plan that works perfectly for your group size.

Do you offer workshops for events other than summer camps?

While we are focused on summer camps in Manizales, we also offer a variety of other energetic workshops. These include school programmes, high-octane brand activations, unique birthday parties, and even corporate team-building events. If you're looking for something different, we also host workshops for bachelor parties and large-scale festivals. Wherever there is a wall and a desire to be creative, Graffitifun is there to lead the way!

The experience

Why choose a Graffitifun workshop for your Manizales summer camp? It’s more than just painting; it’s an unforgettable experience that builds confidence and community. ✨

Epic self-expression: We give youth a powerful outlet to express their identity through bold colours and unique styles. 🎤
Zero stress booking: No upfront payment is needed, and we have backup artists ready to go—meaning your camp schedule is safe with us.
Pro-artist mentors: Learn from real street artists who live and breathe this culture and love sharing their passion. 🏆
Team building: Collaborative murals teach campers how to communicate and work together to create something massive.
Take-home art: Participants can paint their own canvases, giving them a physical memory of their best summer yet!
The 'cool' factor: Let's be honest—nothing beats the excitement of using a spray can for the first time. It's the highlight of the week! 💥

Step by step

Introduction & safety briefing: We kick things off with a warm welcome and a quick breakdown of how to use the equipment safely while respecting the local environment.
The tag creator challenge: Before picking up a can, the campers brainstorm their 'street names' and sketch out initial ideas on paper to get the creative juices flowing.
Nozzle & spray technique: Our artists demonstrate the basic 'can control'—learning how to make thin lines, fat drips, and smooth gradients.
Practice run: Everyone gets a chance to test their skills on a practice surface, getting a feel for the pressure and distance needed for the perfect stroke.
Sketching the masterpiece: It’s time to move to the main event! Campers outline their big designs on the final wall or canvas.
Filling & colouring: This is where the magic happens as we fill in the sketches with vibrant colours and bold patterns.
Outlining & highlighting: We teach the pros' secrets—adding those sharp outlines and white 'highs' that make the artwork pop off the surface.
Final reveal & photos: We step back to admire the collective work, snap some epic photos for the gram, and celebrate the new street artists in town!

Local culture

Manizales, with its dramatic mountain backdrop and misty coffee-country charm, provides an incredible atmosphere for outdoor creativity. While the city is famous for its neoclassical architecture and the iconic Cathedral Basilica, there is a pulse of urban art growing in its steeper streets and vibrant university districts. Our workshops tap into this local energy, giving youth a chance to contribute to the city's modern cultural landscape. 🎨

Fun Fact: Manizales is known as the "City of Open Doors," and we take that literally—opening the doors to creativity for everyone, regardless of their artistic background! ⛰️

From the bustling areas near Chipre to the quiet creative corners of the city, we can set up our mobile street art studio almost anywhere, making it easy to integrate into your existing camp itinerary.

Our workshop prices are competitive and transparent, ensuring you get the best value for your summer camp budget. Pricing depends on the number of participants and the specific setup required for your event.
