Why choose us in Zurich?

Why choose a graffiti workshop for your Zurich summer camp? It’s more than just painting; it's about building bridges between creativity and self-expression. Here is why our workshops are the highlight of the summer:

  • Total creative freedom: No "right" or "wrong" here—just pure, unadulterated artistic expression! 🎨
  • Team building vibes: Collaborative murals teach kids how to work together to achieve something massive. 🤝
  • Zero-risk booking: With no upfront payment and backup artists ready, your camp schedule is safe with us.
  • Professional mentors: Our artists aren't just good with a can; they are great with kids and love sharing their passion. 🎤
  • Confidence boost: Seeing a giant, colourful artwork they created from scratch gives youth a massive sense of pride. 🏆
  • Unique Swiss experience: An edgy, modern twist on traditional Swiss summer activities.

How it works

  1. Intro and safety briefing: We start with a high-energy introduction to the world of street art and a vital safety demo on how to use the gear properly. 🛡️
  2. Design brainstorming: Our artists help the group brainstorm a theme or a "crew name" for their project, sketching out ideas on paper first.
  3. Learning the tools: Kids get to know the spray cans, learning how different "caps" create thin lines, fat lines, or soft fades. 🎨
  4. Outline practice: Participants practice their first strokes on a practice wall to get a feel for the pressure and distance required.
  5. The main event: It's time to hit the big surface! Whether it's a giant mural or individual canvases, the "real" painting begins.
  6. Filling and blending: Our pros teach the campers how to fill in their shapes smoothly and blend colours for that professional "gradient" look. ✨
  7. The final outline: We add the "power line"—the final crisp outline that makes the graffiti pop off the wall. 💥
  8. Detailing and tags: Using markers and fine caps, students add highlights, stars, and their personal artist tag to the work.
  9. Photos and wrap-up: We finish with a group photo session in front of the masterpiece to capture the memories forever! 📸

Frequently asked questions

Do the children need any previous art experience?

No prior experience is necessary! Our Zurich summer camp workshops are designed for absolute beginners. Our professional artists guide the youth through every step, from basic spray can handling to advanced shading techniques. We focus on building confidence and creativity in a supportive, fun environment where every mistake is just a new style in the making. We guarantee everyone will leave with a piece they are proud of.

Is the graffiti workshop safe for kids and teenagers?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective suits to all participants. Our workshops take place in well-ventilated areas or outdoors. The aerosol paints we use are professional grade but handled under strict supervision. Our artists are trained in safety protocols and ensure that all equipment is used correctly throughout the entire summer camp session in Zurich.

What should the participants wear to the workshop?

We recommend wearing old clothes and sneakers that you don't mind getting a bit of paint on. While we provide full-body protective suits and gloves, graffiti can be a messy business, and sometimes a stray drop of paint finds its way onto a shoe or sleeve. It’s better to be safe and comfortable so the kids can focus entirely on their street art creations!

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

Zurich's weather can be unpredictable, but we always have a Plan B! If we are scheduled for an outdoor session and it rains, we usually move to a covered outdoor area or an indoor studio space. We have backup locations and flexible arrangements to ensure the summer camp fun continues regardless of the Swiss clouds. We will communicate any venue changes well in advance.

How long does a typical graffiti session last?

Our summer camp activities in Zurich typically last between 1.5 to 3 hours. This timeframe is perfect for keeping energy levels high while allowing enough time to learn the history, practice techniques, and complete a final masterpiece. For larger groups or multi-day camp schedules, we can adjust the duration to fit your specific needs and itinerary.

What is included in the price of the summer camp activity?

Standard workshops include all the professional spray paint needed, caps, protective gear (suits, masks, gloves), and the surface for painting (either a communal wall or individual canvases/boards). We also provide expert tuition from veteran street artists. You just need to bring your enthusiasm and creative energy! For multi-day camps, we can also include snacks or specific themed materials upon request.

How do we handle payment for the workshop?

We believe in making things easy for organisers. You don't need to pay anything upfront when booking your Zurich summer camp slot. You can settle the payment after the workshop has been successfully completed and everyone is happy with their results. We accept various payment methods, making the administrative side of your summer camp planning as stress-free as possible.
