Please note, it’s not uncommon for us to book multiple weeks or months in advance so be sure to plan your lesson ahead of time! Once your date range is sent in, you will hear back from our team within 3-5 business days to discuss availability on Dan’s schedule.

Have more than 7 in your group? Request a spot on our waiting list for Groups of 8 or more participants or we can happily refer you out to some of the best sand sculpture classes in our area. Are you a Corporate group? Contact Us for special group rates and scheduling.

Signing up for the waiting list does not guarantee booking requests. Someone from our team will be in touch with you within 2 weeks of your request to confirm whether or not the requested date(s) are available for your group.


Booking requests via our website do not guarantee bookings. These booking requests are simply booking requests you will be submitting. You will hear from our team via email within 3-5 business days to confirm the details of your booking. Receiving a 'Booking Confirmed' email from our team shall confirm your fun day in the sand with Dan! We appreciate your patience when booking with us considering our high booking volume.

We try to be as flexible as possible and offer a variety of locations to choose from. ** Please provide the address where you’ll be staying or where you would like the experience to take place** If at a resort or managed property, please also provide the property name & address. **The Destin area is our home base, and Dan generally teaches along the coast from Navarre to Panama City Beach.** **Once you share where your group is staying, we’ll help recommend the easiest nearby public beach access for your class. Some accesses are free, while others may have county, parking, or day-use requirements.** Traveling farther? Just ask! Dan does travel beyond our typical service area depending on the request and availability. Longer-distance bookings are quoted individually and may require additional travel expenses and overnight lodging when necessary. *Other = Travel $TBD"
