Is the graffiti summer camp safe for children?

Safety is our #1 priority! We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective suits to keep those summer clothes clean. Our instructors are professional artists who supervise every spray. We use low-pressure cans for better control and conduct a comprehensive safety briefing before any paint hits the wall. We ensure a safe, supportive environment where campers can focus entirely on their creative expression without any worries.

Do kids need prior art experience to join?

Absolutely no experience is required! Our Vancouver summer camp is designed for everyone from total beginners to budding young artists. Our instructors break down the process into easy, manageable steps—from holding the can correctly to mastering complex shading techniques. We focus on building confidence and having fun, ensuring every camper leaves with a piece of art they are truly proud of, regardless of their starting skill level.

What should campers bring to the workshop?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a little 'artistic' on. While we provide full protective gear, including suits and gloves, graffiti can sometimes be a bit messy! It's also a good idea to bring a water bottle, a hat for the Vancouver sun, and plenty of creative energy. We provide all the professional art supplies, spray cans, and canvases needed for the session.

What happens if it rains during the outdoor session?

Rain is just part of the Vancouver charm! We have access to several covered outdoor locations and indoor studio spaces to ensure the creative fun never stops, regardless of the weather. If the forecast looks particularly grey, we’ll coordinate with you to ensure the workshop takes place in a dry, comfortable setting. Our 'the show must go on' attitude ensures that your summer camp plans are always protected.

How long does a typical graffiti session last?

Our standard youth summer camp workshops typically last between 1.5 to 3 hours. This timeframe is the 'sweet spot' for maintaining high energy and focus while allowing enough time to learn techniques and complete a masterpiece. For larger camp groups, we can rotate sections or extend the duration to fit your specific schedule. We are totally flexible and can customize the timing to match your camp's daily itinerary.

Can you accommodate large summer camp groups?

We love hosting big groups! Vancouver is a city of community, and our workshops reflect that. We can accommodate everything from small pods of 10 to large-scale camp takeovers of 100+ youth. For very large groups, we bring in additional professional artists and set up multiple 'creativity stations' to ensure every child gets personalized instruction and plenty of time with the spray cans. Safety and fun remain our top priorities regardless of size.

The experience

Why settle for another summer of tie-dye when you can master the art of the spray can? Our graffiti workshops offer a unique blend of urban culture and technical skill-building that kids and teens absolutely love. Here is why we are Vancouver's top choice for creative camp activities:

Hands-on creativity: Campers don't just watch—they create their own bold, colorful masterpieces from scratch! 🎤
Professional mentors: Learn directly from active street artists who are passionate about sharing their craft.
Confidence boost: Nothing beats the feeling of seeing a massive piece of art you created yourself.
Team building: Our collaborative mural options teach campers how to work together to achieve a big vision. 💪
Total flexibility: We come to your camp location anywhere in the Lower Mainland.
Zero stress: No upfront payments and a 100% fun guarantee means you can book with total peace of mind.

Step by step

Intro and safety briefing: We kick things off with a high-energy intro and gear everyone up with masks and gloves.
History and culture: Campers learn about the roots of street art and how it evolved into a global art form.
Mastering the can: We teach the 'can-trol' basics—how to hold the spray can, adjust pressure, and create different line widths.
Sketching the vision: Every camper brainstorms their design on paper, guided by our pro artists to refine their ideas.
First lines: It’s time to hit the canvas! Campers start with their outlines and get a feel for the paint flow.
Color and fill: This is where the magic happens as we explore blending, fades, and vibrant color combinations.
The tag: No graffiti piece is complete without a signature. We help campers develop their own unique 'tag.'
Final details: We add highlights and sharp outlines to make the artwork pop off the surface.
The gallery walk: We finish with a celebratory walk-through where everyone shows off their creations and takes group photos!

Good to know

Duration: 1.5 to 3 hours of pure creative flow.
Group sizes: We cater to groups of all sizes, from 10 to 100+ campers.
What’s included: Professional spray cans, canvases (protected or take-home), masks, gloves, and protective suits. 🔥
Safety: Full PPE provided and supervised by experienced street artists.
Locations: Flexible! We can come to your camp location or meet at a designated creative space in Vancouver.
The Result: Every participant leaves with their own artwork and a massive boost in creative confidence! 🏆

Local culture

Vancouver is a world-class canvas, and we draw inspiration from the city's incredible street art scene—from the massive murals of the Vancouver Mural Festival in Mount Pleasant to the hidden gems in Gastown. Our workshops tap into this local energy, encouraging campers to look at their city through a new, artistic lens. We celebrate the diversity and environmental beauty that makes 'Rain City' so special.

Fun fact: Did you know Vancouver hosts one of the largest mural festivals in North America? Every summer, dozens of new massive artworks are added to the city's walls, making it a living museum! 🌲

Whether we are working in a local park or a community space, the spirit of the West Coast shines through in every spray. We love helping Vancouver's youth contribute to this rich cultural tapestry, learning that art isn't just for galleries—it's for everyone, everywhere.
