How long does a typical graffiti workshop session last?

Our Queenstown summer camp workshops usually last between 2 and 3 hours. This gives the campers enough time to learn the basic safety rules, practice their spray technique, and complete a final masterpiece on either a wall or a canvas. We find this timeframe is perfect for keeping energy levels high and creativity flowing without the kids getting worn out under the Central Otago sun!

What is the minimum age for participants in Queenstown?

We generally recommend our creative activities for youth aged 8 and up. Younger kids sometimes struggle with the physical pressure required for the spray cans, but we can adapt sessions for younger groups using paint markers if needed. It’s all about making sure everyone can get involved safely and have a massive grin on their face by the end of the day.

Is the spray paint safe for children to use?

Safety is our number one priority! We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective overalls for every camper. Our professional artists also give a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a spray can. We use low-pressure cans which are much easier for youth to control, ensuring a safe and super fun environment for everyone involved.

What happens if it rains during the scheduled outdoor session?

Don't worry about the Queenstown weather! We have access to several sheltered or indoor locations if the rain decides to show up. If we are working on a portable wall or canvases, we can easily move the workshop under cover so the creative fun doesn't have to stop. We’ll always coordinate with your camp leaders to ensure a backup plan is in place.

Do the kids need any prior art experience?

Absolutely nothing! Most campers have never held a spray can before, and that’s exactly why we love what we do. Our expert artists are trained to teach absolute beginners, guiding them through every step from 'tagging' to 'piece' creation. We’ll have the whole group feeling like Queenstown street art legends in no time at all, regardless of their starting skill level.

What materials are included in the workshop price?

We provide everything! This includes all the spray paint (in a rainbow of colors), caps, gloves, masks, and protective suits. We also provide the 'canvas'—whether that’s a professional-grade art board the kids can take home or a communal wall space we've arranged. You just need to bring your excitement and maybe some old shoes you don't mind getting a bit of dust on.

How do we book a summer camp session in Queenstown?

Booking is easy! Use our online Cost Calculator to get an instant estimate, or drop us a message for a custom quote. We don't require any upfront payment—you only pay after the workshop is completed and everyone is happy. This makes it super low-risk for camp organisers. Plus, we have backup artists ready to go so your event will never be cancelled!

The experience

Why settle for basic crafts when you can offer an urban art explosion? Our graffiti workshops are the ultimate addition to any Queenstown summer camp because they combine physical activity with deep creative focus. Here is why campers (and organisers) love us: 🎉

Total creative freedom: Kids get to design something that is uniquely theirs, boosting self-esteem.
Expert guidance: Work with real street artists who live and breathe the culture.
Team building: Our large-scale collaborative murals teach kids how to work together toward a massive goal. 🤝
Safety first: We use top-tier protective gear and non-toxic methods to keep everyone safe.
Hassle-free for you: We handle the setup, the mess, and the cleanup—you just provide the space!
Risk-free booking: With no upfront costs and backup artists on call, your camp program is in safe hands.

Step by step

Intro and safety briefing: We start with a quick rundown of how to use the gear safely and respect the environment.
The art of the 'tag': Kids learn the history of street art and how to design their very own unique artist signature.
Can control basics: Our pros demonstrate how to hold the can, swap nozzles, and control pressure for different effects.
Design sketching: Campers grab paper and pens to sketch out their big ideas before moving to the 'real' wall.
Background techniques: We teach how to create epic gradients, fades, and textures to make the artwork pop.
Outline and fill: This is where the magic happens—campers fill in their designs with vibrant Kiwi-inspired colors.
Highlights and 3D effects: We show the youth how to add highlights and shadows to give their work depth and style.
Group masterpiece reveal: The whole camp comes together to see the final collaborative project!
Clean up and photos: We wrap up by tidying the site and taking plenty of photos for the campers to show off to their families.

All safety gear—including European-certified masks and overalls—is provided. Our pro artists are experts at managing youth energy and ensuring a professional, respectful atmosphere. We bring everything to your site in Queenstown, so you don't have to worry about transport logistics! 🏆

Local culture

Queenstown isn't just the adventure capital of the world; it’s a budding hub for creative expression! While most people think of bungy jumping or skiing, the local street art scene is quietly making waves. You can spot incredible murals tucked away in the alleyways near Church Street or adorning the walls of local creative spaces. Our workshops tap into this local 'mana' (spirit), encouraging campers to draw inspiration from the stunning turquoise waters of Lake Wakatipu and the jagged peaks that surround us. We love helping the next generation of 'Kiwi' artists find their voice in such an iconic landscape. 🎨

💡 Fun Fact: Did you know Queenstown was named because it was fit for "Queen Victoria"? Today, we think it’s fit for the Kings and Queens of graffiti art!

Pricing

We believe high-quality creative experiences should be accessible for all camps. Our pricing is flexible based on your group size and the specific setup you’re after. 💰

Price range: NZ$45 - NZ$95 per person
