Summary:
Emerson is a great teacher and skilled at building impressive sand castles with just a few basic tools. He provided our 13 year old granddaughter and us with a wonderful experience. I can only imagine what he could accomplish with a slightly larger group of older kids & early teens as well as (younger than us) adults!! Very highly recommended!!!
