SandCastle Lessons

Families on vacation struggle to find an activity the whole family can enjoy "together". Mobile SandCastle Lessons offer an experience everyone will love. Create Memories in the Sand with a two-hour award-winning and sand-cerely unique activity. This quality time opportunity is a “WHOLE FAMILY EXPERIENCE”. We require at least 1 participating adult* per 5 children. And, sometimes the adults have more fun than the children! Learn to build an (approx.) 3 1/2-foot-tall sand tower! Gain "SandCastle Success" while you create a bit of "SandCastle Envy" on the beach. It's not just a SandCastle Lesson - It will become a vacation memory to last a lifetime. Your SandCastle Coach(es) "typically" meet you at your beach. As a professional sand sculpting company we also offer marriage proposals, elegantly unique wedding sand sculptures, specialty sand sculptures, parties of all types (including birthday parties), and Corporate Team Building with logo sand sculptures.

This was a fun activity. Our sandcastle coach sent us a message ahead of time and met us on the beach. The time (2 hours) was great. Learned a lot

Cartoons by Deano

Caricature and cartoon studio.

Reviewed By 677renem - Shreveport, United States

Talented and cordial. Lot's of pictures and examples to choose from but does excellent free hand work also. Very good sense of humor. Packages up nicely for you to travel back with. Takes a little bit of time if having to wait but it's fun to watch and lots to do right there. Price wise not bad. Worth the price, worth the memory. Fun experience!
