Team Building - $250 and up (2hr minimum)

Older Kids - Adults - Corporate Teams

Whether you are a corporation or a family, working together for a common goal is a desirable outcome -- especially when it happens on the beach! If you want to buld something BIG and are part of a larger group of adults and/or big kids, this is the activity for you. I will meet you on the beach with a cart full of shovels, buckets and other goodies and help you build something amazing - including a well-designed message, name or logo if you so desire. Larger groups may choose to break into smaller teams - 3-5 is optimal.

Best For

Grandma & Me - $80


Treat visiting grandchildren to a lesson designed just for them. Less rigorous and demanding than the basic lesson, this lesson is suitable for children as young as 2 or 3 years old -- I do all the hard work, you jump in if/when you feel like it, and every lesson ends with a pretty castle for your photo opportunity.


Kiddy Birthday Party - $100 & up

Especially designed for young children. Instructor spends half an hour making a customized "birthday cake" sand sculpture, then builds a castle around it that the party-goers can carve - making a lovely photo-op that everyone can claim they helped with.

The extended lesson is the most popular of sandy feet sandcastle lessons. More advanced skills and plenty of hands-on time means that I can get you well on the way to a fairly-impressive sculpture. I will either leave you with a finished piece worthy of multiple photos, or I will leave some tools behind so that you can finish it yourselves -- send me pictures!
