Is graffiti art safe for children and teenagers?

Absolutely! At Graffitifun, we prioritise the safety of our participants above all else. We provide high-quality protective gear, including masks and gloves, and our professional artists supervise every spray. We use low-odour paints where possible and conduct our Mbuji-Mayi sessions in well-ventilated or outdoor areas to ensure everyone can get creative without any health concerns. Safety is our number one rule!

Do the kids need to have previous drawing skills?

No prior experience or 'artistic talent' is needed! Our summer camps are designed to take beginners from zero to hero. Our instructors break down the process into simple, manageable steps—from holding the can correctly to mastering complex shading techniques. We believe everyone has a creative spark; we are just here to help you find the right nozzle to express it!

What should participants wear to the workshop?

We recommend wearing old clothes and sneakers that you don't mind getting a bit of 'character' on. While we provide protective overalls and gloves, graffiti can be messy, and stray paint mist sometimes finds its way onto shoes or sleeves. Think of it as a badge of honour from your creative journey in Mbuji-Mayi! We’ll handle the rest of the supplies.

What is the minimum age for the summer camp?

While our summer camps are popular for teenagers, we welcome young creators from age 8 and up. For younger children, we adjust the techniques and use smaller cans that are easier for little hands to control. For older teens, we dive deeper into the history, culture, and technical mastery of street art to keep them fully engaged and challenged throughout the week.

What happens if it rains or an artist is unavailable?

If the tropical Mbuji-Mayi weather doesn't cooperate, we've got you covered! We have access to indoor locations or sheltered outdoor spots where the fun can continue regardless of the rain. We also have a large roster of backup artists, so even if an instructor is unwell, your summer camp schedule will stay right on track without any annoying cancellations.

Can we take our artwork home after the session?

Definitely! Every participant gets to create their own unique piece. Depending on the workshop structure, they might work on an individual canvas that they can take home the same day, or we might collaborate on a large-scale mural that stays as a legacy piece for the school or community centre. Either way, the memories and the new skills are yours to keep forever!

The experience

Why choose our summer camp for your kids or youth group? Because we don't just teach painting; we build confidence and community! Here is why Graffitifun is the top choice in Mbuji-Mayi:

✨ Total Creative Freedom: There are no mistakes in graffiti—only "happy accidents" and New Styles!
🔥 Pro Mentors: Learn from real artists who live and breathe street culture.
🏆 Builds Confidence: Seeing a 2-metre mural you created is an incredible self-esteem boost.

🤝 Teamwork: Many of our activities involve collaborating on a giant mural, teaching communication and respect.
✅ Zero Risk: With no upfront payment and a 100% satisfaction guarantee, you can book with total peace of mind.

Step by step

The warm-up: We start with a high-energy intro to street art culture and a quick safety briefing.
Sketching your style: Grab some paper and pencils! You'll brainstorm your own 'tag' or 'piece' and learn about letter structure.
Can control 101: Before hitting the big wall, we practice basic lines, dots, and pressure control on practice boards.
Outline and fill: Time to make it pop! You'll start spraying your main shapes and filling them with vibrant Congolese colours.
The 'cut-back': Learn the pro secret of using background colours to sharpen your edges and make your design look crisp.
Details and highlights: Add the final touches like glints, shadows, and bubbles to make your artwork three-dimensional.
Character creation: Learn how to add 'characters' or mascots to your graffiti to give it more personality.
The grand reveal: We finish with a group photo session and a 'gallery walk' to admire everyone's hard work.

Good to know

Duration: Sessions range from 2-hour taster workshops to full 5-day summer camp programmes.
Group Sizes: We cater to small groups of 10 or large youth organisations of 50+. Smaller ratios ensure more 1-on-1 coaching! 🎨
Includes: High-quality spray paint, various nozzles (caps), protective overalls, gloves, masks, and canvases or wall space.
Safety First: Full PPE provided and workshops led by experienced pros with a focus on a safe, supportive environment.
Booking: No upfront payment is required. We believe in our service, so you pay only after the workshop is complete! 💪

Local culture

Mbuji-Mayi is a city built on grit and brightness, and we think its youth represent the most sparkling 'diamonds' of all! Street art in the DR Congo is a powerful way to tell stories, and we want to help the next generation in the Kasaï-Oriental province find their voice through vibrant murals. From the bustling energy of the city markets to the resilient spirit of the local community, there is inspiration around every corner.

Fun Fact: Mbuji-Mayi is internationally famous for its diamond reserves, but the real treasure is the city's incredible musical and artistic rhythm. We bring that same 'rhythm' to our spray painting sessions! 💎

Whether you're joining us from the city centre or nearby suburbs, our workshops celebrate the local culture while introducing global street art techniques seen in cities like Kinshasa or Lubumbashi.

Our goal is to make street art accessible to everyone in Mbuji-Mayi. Our pricing is flexible based on the duration of the camp and the number of young artists joining the fun.

Individual Day Sessions: Starting from FC50,000 per person
