Frequently asked questions

Is the graffiti summer camp safe for my children?

Safety is our top priority! We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective suits to keep those summer clothes clean. Our Cape Town workshops use professional-grade spray paints in well-ventilated outdoor environments. Every session is led by an experienced artist who supervises the group closely, ensuring that the cans are used correctly and everyone has a blast in a secure, controlled setting.

Do the kids need prior art experience to join?

Absolutely not! Our summer camp workshops are designed for everyone, from those who can't draw a stick figure to budding young van Goghs. We start with the absolute basics, teaching kids how to handle the can and create simple shapes. Our pro artists provide step-by-step guidance, so every participant walks away with a piece of art they are genuinely proud of. It’s all about the fun!

What should the participants wear to the workshop?

We recommend wearing old clothes and comfortable sneakers, just in case a little bit of Cape Town wind catches the paint! While we provide full protective gear, including suits and gloves, it’s always better to be safe. Since we’ll be outdoors enjoying the Mother City sunshine, don’t forget to pack some sunscreen and a hat. We’ll take care of all the art supplies!

How long does a typical street art session last?

Our graffiti summer camp activities typically last between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives the youth enough time to learn the history of street art, practice their techniques on 'practice walls,' and then complete their final masterpiece on a canvas or professional board. We keep the energy high throughout the session so there’s never a dull moment for the kids.

What is the age limit for the youth summer camp?

Our standard Cape Town summer camp sessions are designed for youth aged 6 to 18. We often split larger groups into smaller teams based on age so that our artists can tailor their coaching style. Younger kids focus more on bold shapes and fun colours, while the older teens dive deeper into complex shading, 3D effects, and the culture of the craft.

Where in Cape Town are the workshops held?

The best part about Graffitifun is our flexibility! We can host the summer camp at one of our vibrant local partner spots in Cape Town, or we can bring the entire 'pop-up' studio to your specific camp location. As long as we have a well-ventilated outdoor space or a large hall, we can turn any venue into a creative street art hub.

How does the booking and payment process work?

We understand that plans can change. One of the best things about booking with Graffitifun is that we don't require any upfront payment! You can secure your date and pay after the workshop is completed. Plus, we always have backup artists on standby to ensure that your summer camp event goes ahead as planned, no matter what happens. Your peace of mind matters!
