Have More Fun on the Beach Forever!

(Note: this is NOT a sandcastle lesson -- we would have to charge you for that! -- but you will definitely learn things in Sandcamp that will make your future sandcastles more amazing ;-)

How long will a Sand Camp session last? 20-60 minutes
Cost Free! (But donations gladly accepted on-site or on-line.)
