Do the kids need any previous art experience to join?

Absolutely! Our Rotorua summer camp graffiti workshops are designed specifically for beginners. Our pro artists start with the basics, teaching youth how to hold the can, control the pressure, and create clean lines. We focus on building confidence and skills from the ground up, so no previous art experience is needed to create something truly epic. We foster a supportive, 'give it a go' Kiwi attitude!

Is it safe for children to use spray paint?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective suits to keep everyone safe and clean. Our instructors are experienced at managing groups of young people and ensure that spray cans are used responsibly. We only use professional-grade paints in well-ventilated outdoor areas, ensuring a fun environment that meets all safety standards for youth activities in New Zealand.

What should the campers wear to the workshop?

We recommend wearing older clothes and comfortable sneakers that you don't mind getting a bit of 'art' on! Even though we provide protective overalls, graffiti can be a bit messy when the creativity starts flowing. Since we are in Rotorua, it’s always a good idea to bring a sun hat, sunscreen, and a water bottle to stay hydrated during our outdoor sessions.

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

No kids are left out! If the Rotorua weather decides not to play ball, we have several options. We can move the workshop to a sheltered or indoor area using low-odour water-based pens and specialized materials, or we can reschedule the session to a sunnier day. We’ll always work with your summer camp schedule to ensure the mahi gets done!

How long is a typical graffiti summer camp session?

Our standard summer camp sessions usually run for about 1.5 to 2 hours. This provides the perfect balance between learning the technical 'can-control' skills and having enough time to complete a final masterpiece. We find this duration keeps the energy levels high and the engagement sharp for the youth without them losing focus. It fits perfectly into a busy camp itinerary.

Can you accommodate very large groups of campers?

While we love bringing the whole camp together, we usually work in groups to ensure everyone gets enough 'can-time' and individual attention from our artists. For very large camps in Rotorua, we can run back-to-back sessions or bring in multiple artists to manage different stations simultaneously. Just let us know your numbers, and we will tailor the perfect setup for your group size.

Are all the materials included in the price?

We provide everything! From the premium spray cans in a rainbow of colours to the canvases, boards, or walls we'll be painting on. We also bring all the essential safety gear like masks and gloves. You just need to provide the space and the enthusiastic campers ready to learn. We handle the setup and the cleanup, making it totally stress-free for camp organisers.

Local culture

Rotorua isn't just about the bubbling mud pools and the majestic Redwoods; it’s a city with a deep soul and a growing appreciation for urban expression. We love bringing our workshops here because the natural beauty of the Bay of Plenty provides such a stunning backdrop for vibrant spray-paint art. While the city is world-famous for its Māori culture and heritage, street art is becoming a modern way for the younger generation to share their stories. ✨

Fun fact: Did you know that Rotorua has been steadily growing its public art scene? From the murals near the lakefront to the hidden gems in the CBD, the city is embracing colour. Our workshops tap into this local creative energy, teaching kids that art belongs to everyone, everywhere—not just in a gallery! 🎨
