How long does a typical graffiti workshop session last?

Most of our Ogre summer camp sessions last between 2 and 3 hours. This gives the campers enough time to learn the basic spray techniques, practice their lettering on cardboard, and finally collaborate on a large-scale mural or individual canvases. We find this is the 'sweet spot' for maintaining high energy and focus while ensuring everyone completes a piece of art they are truly proud of.

Is the graffiti workshop safe for children and teenagers?

Absolutely! Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, protective gloves, and body suits to keep clothes clean. Our professional instructors are trained to manage groups safely, ensuring that the spray cans are used correctly. We use low-odour, high-quality paints, and all sessions in Ogre are held in well-ventilated outdoor or semi-outdoor areas to ensure a healthy environment for all youth.

Do the participants need any prior art experience?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for absolute beginners. Our artist-mentors break down the process into simple, manageable steps—from holding the can to creating 3D effects. We often find that those who think they 'can\'t draw' end up creating the most impressive pieces. It's all about technique, confidence, and having the freedom to experiment in a supportive, fun atmosphere.

What materials do we need to provide for the camp?

We bring the studio to you! Graffitifun provides everything: premium spray paint in a rainbow of colours, caps (nozzles) for different line widths, protective gear, and the surfaces to paint on. We can set up mobile cellophane walls or use large wooden panels depending on your camp's facilities. All we need from your side is an enthusiastic group of campers and a bit of space!

What should the campers wear on the day of the workshop??

While we provide protective overalls, we always recommend that participants wear 'messy' clothes and comfortable trainers. Spray paint is permanent and, despite our best efforts with gear, a stray drop can sometimes find its way onto a sleeve or shoe. It’s better to be safe and wear something that you don't mind getting a little bit of 'artistic character' on during the workshop!

What happens if it rains during the scheduled workshop?

Ogre is beautiful, but the weather can be unpredictable! If rain is forecast, we can move the workshop under a large canopy, into a well-ventilated hall, or use a backup date. We coordinate closely with camp organisers to ensure the activity goes ahead smoothly, regardless of the Latvian clouds. Our backup artists also ensure that your event is never cancelled due to staff illness.

What is the maximum group size for a summer camp session?

We are incredibly flexible with group sizes. Whether you have a small specialist art troop of 10 or a massive summer camp of 100+ students, we can scale our team of artists to suit. For very large groups, we often run rotating 'stations' or work on a massive collaborative mural where everyone contributes a section, ensuring that every single camper gets hands-on time with the spray cans.

The experience

Why choose a graffiti workshop for your Ogre summer camp? It’s more than just painting; it’s an empowering experience that builds skills and friendships. Here’s why it’s a camp highlight:

Confidence booster: Watch campers go from "I can't draw" to "Look what I made!" in just two hours. 🚀
Total expression: Graffiti has no rules! It’s the perfect outlet for teens to express their unique personality.
Teamwork in action: Our collaborative murals require communication, planning, and supporting one another. 🤝
Epic souvenirs: Whether it’s a photo or a personal canvas, every camper takes home a piece of the experience.
Expert mentors: Our artists are not just pros; they are high-energy facilitators who know how to engage with youth. 🎨
Risk-free booking: With our backup artist policy and no-prepayment rule, your camp schedule is always safe.

Step by step

Intro and safety briefing: We kick things off with a high-energy intro, meeting the campers and explaining how to use the equipment safely while respecting the environment.
The 'Caps' masterclass: Participants learn about different nozzles (fat caps, skinny caps) and how they change the spray pattern for outlines or filling.
Sketching your tag: Before touching the cans, campers brainstorm their graffiti name and sketch out their design on paper to plan their layout.
Can control practice: Time to spray! We start on practice boards to master lines, dots, and fades to get a feel for the pressure of the can.
Background creation: Campers start their main piece by applying vibrant background colours and 'bubbles' to make their design pop.
Filling and fading: Learners fill in their letters using cool techniques like gradients and patterns to add depth to their work.
Outlining and highlights: This is where the magic happens! Adding sharp outlines and white 'shines' makes the graffiti leap off the wall.
The final clean-up: We add 'second outlines' and force-fields to give the artwork that professional, street-ready look.
Photo session and wrap-up: We celebrate the creativity with a group photo in front of the masterpieces before packing up the gear.

Local culture

Ogre is famous for its breathtaking nature and the "Zilie Kalni" (Blue Hills), but it's also a town with a growing appreciation for modern culture. Street art in Latvia has evolved from underground tags to massive, celebrated murals in cities like Riga and Liepaja, and we are thrilled to bring that pulse to Ogre's youth. The town's creative spirit perfectly matches the freedom of graffiti art.

Fun Fact: Did you know that the town of Ogre was once a popular resort for the elite of Riga? Today, it’s a hub for active recreation—making it the perfect backdrop for a high-energy, outdoor graffiti workshop!

Our workshops foster a sense of community, similar to the close-knit vibe of Ogre's local festivals. We often see campers drawing inspiration from the pine forests and rivers that surround them, blending nature with urban style.
