When you’re planning your next family vacation, look for spas that provide healthy and educational activities for kids.For example,children and teens can learn about skin care as well as nutrition atmany spas. In fact,51 percent of U.S.spas offer educational programs


and nutritional consultations,according to the ISPA,40 percent offer healthy cuisine classes,26 percent have educational offerings on obesity orweight gain issues and 17 percent offer exercise programs for children and teens. When it comes to the services that spas provide,treatments


can range fromhot rockmassages andmanicures to bodywraps and signature treatments that include productsmade with natural ingredients indigenous to the region.You’ll also find spas that offer environmentally friendly products. If you can’t find a service that suits you, talk to the admin-


istrators at the spa or resort.Spas,say the ISPA, listen to the demands and desires of customers. Theymay be able to tailor a treatment to your personal needs. In addition to the healing benefits derived fromthe spa,


spa vacations can offer fun,educational activities such as yoga, ropes courses and art classes.You can even learn the art of flying through the air on a trapeze at a spa. When you’re booking reservations,ask if the spa has any


packages available.Youmay be able to find substantial discounts over individual prices. If a spa resort is out of the question,check to see if the


hotel you are using has a spa on the premises. If it does and youmake an appointment,take advantage of all the spa offers, including the pool and sauna.
