What age group is the graffiti summer camp suitable for?

Our Merida summer camp workshops are designed for young creatives aged 8 to 18. We split participants into age-appropriate peer groups so the teenagers can focus on complex spray techniques and piece building, while the younger ones enjoy more tactile, stencil-based fun. Everyone gets to work at a pace that suits their developmental stage, ensuring no one feels left behind or bored at any point!

Is it safe for children to use spray paint?

Safety is our absolute priority. We use low-pressure spray cans that are easier for kids to control and provide high-quality FFP2 masks, gloves, and protective suits to keep clothes clean. Our instructors are professional artists who have undergone thorough background checks and are trained in managing youth groups in outdoor environments. We ensure a safe, supervised, and ventilated workspace for every single session.

Do the kids need any prior artistic experience?

Not at all! Our Merida summer camp programme is built for absolute beginners. We start with the basics—how to hold the can, how to control the pressure, and how to draw simple lines. Our 'no-mistakes' philosophy means every smudge is just a new design opportunity. By the end of the week, even those who thought they couldn't draw a stick figure will be amazed at their own mural.

What should the participants wear to the workshop?

We recommend wearing 'art-ready' clothes—things you don't mind getting a little bit of 'character' on. While we provide full-body protective suits and gloves, spray paint has a way of finding its way onto shoes or sleeves. Comfortable trainers are a must as we’ll be on our feet moving around the canvases. Don't worry, the gear we provide covers about 95% of your outfit!

What happens if it rains during the outdoor session?

In the 'City of Gentlemen', the weather can be a bit unpredictable. If we're hit by a mountain shower, we move the session to one of our pre-arranged indoor spaces or undercover areas. We use water-based, low-odour paints for indoor sessions to ensure a comfortable breathing environment. The creativity never stops just because of a bit of rain—we always have a solid Plan B ready to go!

Can the kids take their artwork home after the camp?

Absolutely! At our Merida camp, every participant creates their own individual artwork on a high-quality canvas or board. Once the paint is dry, they get to take their masterpiece home to hang on their bedroom wall. It’s a fantastic way for them to show off their new skills to family and friends and keep a permanent memory of their creative summer experience.

How long does a typical graffiti camp session last?

Our standard summer camp modules usually run for 3 hours per day, often as part of a week-long creative programme. However, we are totally flexible! We can provide a one-off 'taster' afternoon or a deep-dive intensive over several days. If you’re a camp organiser in Merida, just let us know your schedule and we will tailor the graffiti experience to fit perfectly into your existing itinerary.

The experience

Why choose our graffiti workshop for your Merida summer camp? It’s more than just a painting lesson—it’s an unforgettable experience that merges urban culture with the fresh air of the Andes. Check out why we’re the top pick for youth groups:

Epic confidence boost: Seeing a giant mural come to life because of YOUR spray can is an incredible feeling for any kid! 💪
Pro-artist mentors: Our team consists of active graffiti artists who are passionate about teaching the next generation. 🎤
All-inclusive kit: You don't need to bring a thing—we supply the cans, the masks, and even the cool suits. 🛡️
Zero stress booking: No upfront payment required and we have backup artists ready so your event never gets cancelled. 🏆
Creative freedom: We don't do boring "stay inside the lines" art. This is about self-expression and finding your own flow. ✨
Great for teamwork: Our collaborative murals teach kids how to work together to create something bigger than themselves. 🤝

Step by step

Intro & safety briefing: We kick things off with a high-energy intro, explaining the kit and how to use the protective gear properly.
The tag creator: Kids use our digital Tag Creator or paper sketches to brainstorm their own unique street name and style.
Can control 101: Our pro artists show them the ropes—learning how to make thin lines, fat dots, and smooth fades.
Background vibes: Every great piece needs a cool background. We teach them how to create 'bubbles', 'clouds', or 'space' effects.
The big outline: Time to go bold! The kids learn how to scale up their sketches onto the large canvases.
Fill-in & 3D: We add vibrant colours and show them how to make their art pop with 3D shadows and highlights.
The final cut: We add those sharp details and 'force lines' that make the artwork look professional and finished.
Gallery walk: We finish with a group photo and a 'show and tell' session where everyone celebrates each artist's progress.

Good to know

Duration: Sessions typically range from 1.5 to 3 hours, but we can customise this for full-day camp programmes.
Group sizes: We cater to everything from small groups of 10 to large-scale camp takeovers of 100+ (with multiple artists).
What's included: All spray cans, protective suits, gloves, FFP2 masks, and high-quality canvases are provided.
Safety first: We use age-appropriate equipment and maintain a high instructor-to-student ratio at all times.
Location: We are mobile! We can come to your camp site in Merida or host you at one of our partner urban spots.

Local culture

Merida is known as the heart of Venezuelan culture and student life, making it the perfect canvas for a creative summer camp. Nestled under the watchful eye of Pico Bolívar, this city has a unique blend of colonial tradition and youthful energy. While Merida is famous for its parks and the legendary ice cream shop, there's a growing appreciation for urban art tucked away in its vibrant neighbourhoods. Our workshops tap into this local spirit, encouraging kids to draw inspiration from the mist-covered mountains and the colourful streets of the city centre. 🏔️

Fun Fact: Merida is home to one of the world's longest and highest cable cars (the Mukumbarí)! We often encourage our young artists to think about 'perspective' and 'height' in their designs, just like looking down from the Sierra Nevada.

Whether they're inspired by the local flora or the bustling energy of the university students, our graffiti summer camp in Merida gives them the tools to translate that local pride into stunning street art. We don't just paint; we connect with the local vibe! 🚠
