Sand Castle Lessons

updated 5/8/04

feet lesson

Sand castle building is a great way to interact with the beach. It's fun, it's a wonderful way to meet people, a useful means of teaching teamwork and cooperation -- and it's good exercise, too!

But where do you start if you are artistically challenged? Who do you turn to if you suffer from crumbly towers and fallen arches? On this page we hope to assemble a bunch of links to talented sand sculptors willing to "share" their secrets with the rest of the beach-loving world.

Likely Candidates for Sand Castle Instruction

  • Vacationing Families
  • School Groups
  • Church Youth Groups
  • Boyscouts, Girlscouts, etc.
  • Corporate Management Trainees

Every instructor does lessons a little differently, so try us all! ;-)
