With ingredients like chocolate, coconut cream and caramel apple, it sounds more like an ice cream shop, but at Great Wolf Lodge in Traverse City, Michigan, these are just a few of the enticing items found in the spa services offered at Scoops Kids Spa.
Pint sized clients enjoy a pedicure seated in an oversized ice cream sundae sofa surrounded by whimsical wall murals in this spa where the themed services are matched up with a child s personality. For instance, the girl or boy who loves the outdoors and sports might like to try the Gummy Worm Pedicure or Manicure which features a relaxing treatment of chocolate ice cream fizz with real gummy worms tickling the toes. The interactive Scooops Facial teaches youngsters how to keep their skin healthy with an all sensitive product line for delicate skin. And included with every spa treatment is a coupon for real ice cream in the Bear Claw Cafe.
It s a growing trend that indicates more and more spas are offering services dedicated to the younger set. According to the International Spa Association, more than half of the nearly 14,000 spas in the United States offer packages for families, teens or kids. This trend may also be in part to mothers who are asking for services and products geared towards themselves as well as their children.

Girls can relax with treatments like a pretty pastel polish manicure and sparkly topcoat with a Manigirl treatment, or enjoy the Fantasy Facial which uses fresh avocado or an oatmeal scrub, coupled with a cucumber eye lift and a face massage. The spa also features a fun photo shoot with gowns, boas and hats. Rough and tumble boys might dig temporary hand tattoos, finger massage and thumb wrestling offered by the Maniguy Spa Service for Boys. The spa also offers themed party packages complete with dress up and a group photo.
