Graffiti summer camp activities in Amsterdam

Looking to add a splash of colour and a whole lot of energy to your summer programme? Our graffiti summer camp activities in Amsterdam offer an unforgettable creative experience for youth of all ages. Instead of the usual sports or crafts, we give kids and teens the chance to dive into the vibrant world of urban art. Led by authentic street artists with years of experience, these workshops are designed to build confidence, spark imagination, and teach the real techniques behind the spray can. Amsterdam has a legendary street art history, and there is no better place for young people to discover their inner artist while enjoying the sun and the unique local vibe. Whether you're runnning a local community camp or an international youth program, we bring the paint, the gear, and the passion to make your summer elite.

Why settle for the ordinary when you can give your campers an extraordinary experience they'll talk about for years? Choosing our graffiti workshop for your Amsterdam summer camp comes with plenty of perks:

  • Boosts creative confidence: There are no mistakes in graffiti, only "happy accidents," which helps kids feel brave in their artistic choices.
  • Professional mentorship: Campers learn directly from active street artists who know the culture inside and out.

Frequently asked questions

Is the graffiti summer camp safe for children?

Absolutely! At our Amsterdam summer camp workshops, safety is our number one priority. We provide all participants with high-quality protective gear, including gloves, face masks, and overalls. Our professional instructors are experts at teaching kids and teens how to handle spray cans responsibly, ensuring a fun environment that is completely risk-free for every young artist involved.

What is the minimum age for participants?

For our summer camp sessions in Amsterdam, we suggest a minimum age of 6 years old. At this age, children usually have the motor skills needed to press the spray nozzle. However, we tailor our teaching style to different age groups, ensuring that both younger kids and older teenagers feel challenged and inspired by the creative process.

Do we need to pay anything in advance?

We believe in flexibility and trust, which is why we don't require any upfront payments or deposits for our workshops. You only pay after the summer camp activity has been completed and you are 100% satisfied with the experience. We accept various payment methods to make the process as easy as possible for camp organisers.

How long does a typical workshop session last?

Standard graffiti summer camp activities in Amsterdam typically last between 1.5 and 2 hours. This provides enough time for a thorough safety briefing, technique practice, and the creation of a final masterpiece. If you have a specific schedule to stick to, we can easily adjust the duration to fit your camp's daily itinerary.

What materials are included in the price?

We provide everything! Your booking includes all the necessary spray paint in a wide range of vibrant colours, high-quality caps (nozzles), protective clothing, and professional-grade masks. We also provide the canvases or plastic film for the graffiti. You just need to make sure the kids show up in clothes they don't mind getting a bit of paint on!

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

Amsterdam weather can be unpredictable, but we’ve got you covered. We have access to several indoor locations across the city where we can host the workshop safely. Alternatively, if your camp site has a covered outdoor area, we can set up there. We never let a bit of Dutch rain stop the creative flow for your campers.

Can you accommodate large groups of campers?

Commonly, we host groups of 10 to 30 participants per instructor to ensure everyone gets enough personal guidance. However, we are very experienced in managing much larger groups for big summer camps. We simply bring along more of our professional artists and set up multiple 'stations' to keep the energy high and the learning effective.
