How it works

The safety huddle: We start with a fun safety briefing. We teach the kids how to use protection gear properly and respect the environment and each other while painting.
Mastering the 'cap': Participants learn about different nozzles (caps) and how they change the spray width. It’s all about getting a feel for the can!
First lines and 'tags': We move to the practice wall to learn basic movements, like making straight lines, dots, and those classic graffiti drips.
Sketching the vision: Before going big, everyone grabs a marker and paper to design their own 'piece'. This is where the individual style starts to shine.
Filling and fading: Our pros show the secrets of 'filling in' letters and creating smooth colour gradients (fades) that make the art pop.
The 'outline' technique: This is the tricky part! We teach how to put a sharp border around the work to make it look professional and clean.
Adding the 'highlights': A bit of white or bright colour in the right spots brings the whole 3D effect to life.
The grand mural: The group works together on a massive, collaborative street art piece that represents their collective summer vibe in Mombasa.
Cleanup and photos: We wrap up by cleaning the site and taking epic photos of the artwork for everyone to keep as a memory.

Frequently asked questions

What age group is the Mombasa graffiti summer camp for?

Our graffiti summer camp is designed for children and teenagers aged 8 to 18. We split participants into smaller peer groups based on their age and experience level to ensure everyone feels comfortable and challenged. Whether they are a primary schooler looking for messy fun or a teen wanting to master complex aerosol techniques, our expert instructors adapt their teaching style to match the energy of the group.

Is spray painting safe for children and teenagers?

Safety is our absolute priority. We use high-quality, low-odour spray paint specifically designed for artistic use. Every participant is provided with professional-grade protective gear, including gloves, masks, and aprons. Our workshops take place in well-ventilated outdoor areas, and our experienced artists provide a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a spray can. We maintain a high instructor-to-student ratio to ensure constant supervision.

Do the kids need prior art experience to join?

Not at all! Our summer camp is built on the idea that everyone has a creative spark. We start with the absolute basics—how to hold the can, controlling pressure, and basic line work. Our street artists guide the youth through every step of the process, from sketching their first tag to finishing a large-scale mural. Most participants are amazed at what they can create by the end of the week!

What happens if it rains during the outdoor sessions?

Mombasa’s weather is usually beautiful, but we always have a plan B. If we encounter heavy rain, we move the activities to a sheltered or indoor area where we focus on 'blackbook' sessions (sketching and character design) or use water-based markers and canvases. We have backup artists on call, so the camp will always go ahead as scheduled, regardless of minor weather shifts.

Are materials included in the workshop price?

We provide everything! The cost of the summer camp includes all professional spray cans, caps, protective clothing, masks, gloves, and the surfaces we paint on (like large communal boards or individual canvases). We also provide sketching materials for the design phase. Participants just need to wear old clothes they don't mind getting a bit of paint on and bring their own lunch and water.

How long does a typical graffiti session last?

The duration can vary depending on your specific booking, but typically our summer camp sessions run for about 2.5 to 3 hours per day over the course of a week. This provides enough time for a mix of theory, practice, and the creation of a final masterpiece. We can also customise the schedule for shorter intensive workshops or full-day creative marathons if requested.

How do I book a spot and when do I pay?

Booking is easy! Since prices vary based on your group size and your specific requirements for the Mombasa location, we recommend requesting a quote through our website. There is no upfront payment required to start the process, and we focus on 100% satisfaction. Once we agree on the details, we’ll lock in the dates for your creative adventure. You only pay after the workshop!
