Why choose a Graffitifun session for your Bergen summer camp? It’s not just about painting walls; it’s about giving youth a voice and a platform to be themselves. Here is why our programme stands out:

  • Expert guidance: Learn from real street artists who live and breathe the culture in Norway.
  • Safety first: We use professional-grade protective gear and low-odour paints where possible.
  • Reliability: With backup artists on standby, your event is guaranteed to go ahead as planned.
  • No financial risk: You don't pay a single Krone until the workshop is over and you're happy.
  • Boosts confidence: Seeing a massive piece of art finished after just a few hours gives kids a huge sense of achievement.
  • Social connection: Our workshops are highly collaborative, perfect for making new friends during the summer holidays.

How it works

  1. Intro and history: We start with a cool look at how graffiti evolved from New York subways to Bergen's own street art scene.
  2. Safety briefing: Every camper gets kitted out with professional masks, gloves, and overalls while we explain the golden rules of the spray can.
  3. The first lines: We head to the wall to learn can control, experimenting with distance and pressure to create different line widths.
  4. Lettering basics: Our artists show the kids how to sketch out 'tags' and 'throw-ups', focusing on proportions and style.
  5. Concept design: The group works together or individually to sketch a final masterpiece on paper before moving back to the wall.
  6. Filling and fading: This is where the magic happens! We teach the campers how to blend colours and create smooth gradients.
  7. Outlining and highlights: To make the art pop, we add sharp outlines and white 'shines' that give the piece a 3D effect.
  8. The final reveal: We step back, peel away any tape, and admire the collective mural. It's the perfect moment for a group photo!

Frequently asked questions

Is the graffiti workshop safe for children and teenagers?

Absolutely! At our Bergen summer camp, safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective overalls for every participant. Our professional artists are trained to supervise youth, ensuring that spray cans are used correctly and that everyone stays in a well-ventilated, designated area. We make sure the kids have a blast while staying completely protected from paint and fumes.

Do the kids need any prior drawing or painting skills?

No previous art experience is needed at all. Our summer camp sessions are designed to take beginners from zero to hero. We start with the absolute basics—how to hold a can and control the pressure—and work our way up to more complex designs. Whether your child is a budding Picasso or has never held a marker, they’ll leave feeling like a pro.

What should participants wear to the summer camp session?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a little bit of paint on. While we provide full protective body suits and gloves, graffiti can occasionally be a bit messy, and a stray drop of paint might find its way onto a sneaker. It's best to leave the brand-new designer gear at home for the day!

How long does a typical graffiti workshop last?

Our Bergen summer camp workshops usually last between 1.5 and 3 hours. This gives us enough time to cover the history of street art, practice different spraying techniques on practice walls, and then complete a final masterpiece. We find this duration is perfect for keeping energy levels high without the kids getting overtired or losing focus on their creative project.

What happens if the instructor is ill or the event is cancelled?

We are proud of our reliability. We have a dedicated team of backup artists ready to step in if a lead instructor is unwell. This means your summer camp activity in Bergen will never be cancelled by us at the last minute. Furthermore, we don't require upfront payments; you only pay once the workshop is completed, giving you total peace of mind.

Can the workshop take place at our own summer camp site?

While we often work at iconic local street art spots, we can also come to your specific summer camp location if you have a suitable outdoor space or a well-ventilated indoor area. We bring all the necessary boards, plastic sheeting to protect the ground, and all the paint equipment. Just let us know your location in Bergen, and we will handle the rest.
