Sand Castle Lessons - Information Page

The full family, friends, or couple's lesson:
$140 for the first 2 participants, $20 each for up to 5 additional participants
If you're looking for something that a couple , the whole family, or a small group of friends can do together and you're ready to learn some real sand castle techniques then this is the session you'll want to book. A full session goes for a flat rate of $140 and includes two people, but can also be taken solo if you'd like. Your instructor is scheduled for the full three hours but with younger kids they often finish closer to two, so two to three hours is a good planning guideline. If your family is a bit bigger we give parents a break and ask only $20 per extra participant for up to five more. All the equipment for everyone is included so you won't need to bring anything and we'll show how to build castles like a professional as well as how to build with just a couple of buckets. We'll go over stacking (and we'll use multiple forms for lots of sand), hand stacking, towers, windows, doors, walls, stairs, textures, arches, bridges, and a whole bunch of cool little sand tricks. If you have anything else in mind we can also try to make it happen. No artistic experience is necessary!

We provide all the tools and equipment for your lesson so no purchases are necessary, but if you want to up your game or give a nice gift  you can order TOOL KITS or VELCRO FORMS at our online shop here. 

Large groups of 8 or more:
Before booking please contact me for pricing, availability and information on corporate team building, birthday parties, double family sessions, or large groups of 8 or more. 

Where to meet:
All meeting locations are currently in Del Mar beach. We hope the City of San Diego will work expediently with us regarding our unique situation to allow us to castle up La Jolla or Pacific Beach again soon... But it's probably wise that we don't hold our breath for now!

When to meet:
Appointments generally fall into a morning, afternoon, and evening time which varies according to season. Please check the availability calendar to see what times slots are available. 

     Mornings:  about 9:30 a.m.  - not too early, not too late - you'll still have the rest of the day with a morning session!
     Afternoons:  around 1 p.m. - the afternoon session is beach time at its busiest; great vibes out on the sand! 
     Evening: around 4 p.m. - the early evening session means carving right up until the sunset; fun AND beautiful!


How to pay:
At the end of your session you can pay by cash, check to "San Diego Sand Castles", or with any major credit or debit card right there on the sand. Unfortunately we can no longer accept firstborn children.  

For more information or if you have questions:
Check out the Frequently Asked Questions page. You can also initiate a chat with a live person using the chat box on the lower right of the screen! Unless we're all stuck in traffic at the same time someone will be right there!
