Sandcastle Classic Competition
The St. Paul’s Sandy Celtics will participate for the second time in the 43rd annual LEAP Sandcastle Classic competition on Ocean Beach on October 25, 2025. This year’s theme is “Level Up!”. We are so excited to be part of this iconic event and provide our community another fantastic enrichment activity. The students who participate in the enrichment program are the creative force of the sandcastle design, as they work with experts in architecture, engineering and construction. The students will join their professional partners and volunteers on the beach on competition day to bring their designs to life, allowing them a fun way to combine art with an unforgettable hands-on learning experience!

About LEAP Sandcastle Classic:
LEAP Sandcastle Classic is a non-profit organization that provides arts education services for 9200 students in the Bay Area every year. The LEAP Sandcastle Classic is the biggest fundraiser of the year to help with the costs of the art education program. Through the sandcastle competition, kids have the chance to play and create art through sand. The students who participate are able to use their creativity in design, expression through the planning process, and work directly with professionals in architecture, engineering and construction. Sandcastle Classic provides a STEAM experience with aspects of science (learning the physics of working with sand and water as a building material), technology (working with the design sketch of the sandcastle), engineering (reworking the design considering the structural integrity and materials available), arts (using creativity to create a design, sketches, models to the sculpting of the sandcastle) and math (learning measurements, creating a grid of the design, understanding spatial relationships/measurements in the design). LEAP Sandcastle Classic is “Northern California’s largest sandcastle competition and iconic San Francisco event”. Visit the LEAP Sandcastle Classic website for more information.
