Mastering the nozzle: Kids learn 'can control'—how to hold the spray can and create different line widths and effects.
Sketching the vision: Before hitting the wall, participants sketch out their ideas on paper to plan their masterpiece.
Outline and fill: The fun begins! Campers move to the boards to apply their first layers of colour.
Adding the flare: Our artists teach advanced tricks like shines, 3D shadows, and 'splatters' to make the art pop.
The final tag: Every artist signs their work with a unique tag or nickname they've created during the session.

Frequently asked questions

Do the kids need to have any artistic talent to join?

No previous art experience is needed at all! Our Arusha summer camp workshops are designed for everyone, from absolute beginners to doodle enthusiasts. Our professional artists break down the process into simple, manageable steps, ensuring every child feels confident and capable. By the end of the session, even those who thought they couldn't draw a stick figure will be amazed by the masterpiece they've created. It's all about fun and self-expression.

Is it safe for children to use spray cans?

Safety is our top priority in every session. We provide high-quality protective gear, including masks, gloves, and overalls to keep clothes clean. Our professional grade spray paints are used in well-ventilated outdoor areas, and our instructors are trained to supervise the group closely. We ensure a controlled environment where kids can explore their creativity without any risks, giving parents complete peace of mind while their children are getting hands-on.

What should my child wear to the graffiti workshop?

We recommend that children wear old clothes and comfortable shoes that you don't mind getting a bit of paint on. While we provide protective overalls and gloves, graffiti can be a messy business! Arusha's weather is usually pleasant, but light, breathable clothing is best as the kids will be active and moving around quite a bit during the workshop. Don't forget a hat and some sunscreen for the African sun!

How long does a typical workshop session last?

A standard summer camp graffiti session in Arusha typically lasts between 1.5 and 3 hours. This gives the group plenty of time to learn the history of street art, practice their techniques on 'try-out' walls, and then complete their final masterpiece. We find this timing is perfect for keeping energy levels high and focus sharp without the kids getting overtired. We can also adapt the duration for full-day camp schedules.

Do the participants get to keep their artwork?

Absolutely! One of the highlights of our summer camp program is that the participants get to take their creations home. Whether they've worked on a personal canvas or a portable board, they'll have a physical piece of art to show off to family and friends. It serves as a fantastic souvenir of their creative journey in Arusha and a constant reminder of the new skills they've mastered during the holidays.

What kind of paint do you use and is it eco-friendly?

Sustainability is important to us. We use high-quality, professional spray paint brands that comply with safety regulations. Where possible, we opt for low-odour and eco-conscious options. We also ensure that all empty cans and materials are disposed of responsibly after the workshop. Our goal is to inspire the next generation of artists while teaching them to respect the environment and the local community spaces in Arusha.

Can you handle large groups of children at once?

Yes, we do! Our summer camp activities are designed for groups, usually starting from 10 participants up to larger camp cohorts. We have a solid team of backup artists in Tanzania, so if your camp has a very large number of kids, we can bring in extra instructors to ensure everyone gets individual attention. This makes our workshops a scalable and reliable choice for any summer program organiser in the region.
