The Club Camp Difference

The Club Camp Difference
At the Beech Mountain Club, camp isn’t just for campers; it is for the whole family. We combine all the great outdoor fun associated with summer camp with all the privileges of belonging to a private club. Campers are introduced to pickleball, tennis, golf, swimming and fitness by club professionals and enjoy the use of state-of-the-art equipment and facilities.
In addition to our regularly scheduled camp activities, campers and their families are offered
special “Family Time” sessions to practice new skills and “play” together in a “kid-friendly”
environment. Just another way for you and your family to enjoy the Beech Mountain Club.
Space is limited, so please call the Recreation Department for more information or to sign up
for any of these activities. (828)387-4208, ext. 5.
Let’s Get Moving Mondays
On Mondays, campers will tour the Fitness Center and also have fun sampling some group fitness classes like
Zumba, Cardio Kickboxing, Yoga or Bootcamp. Healthy living and exercise awareness tips will be shared by the
Beech Mountain Club Fitness Staff. It’s never too early to make fitness fun!
Tennis Tuesdays
On Tuesdays campers will hit the Tennis Courts and play with the Pros. Campers will be divided into groups
based on their ages and abilities to learn how much fun it is to play Tennis. The only equipment needed is a good
pair of sneakers for this fun “Taste of Tennis”. On Tuesday Nights from 5—6pm gather on the Tennis Deck for
some Family Time on the courts. Tennis anyone?
Golf Wednesdays
We plan to expand the golf experience this year by offering a full morning session to campers. We'll continue to
use SNAG (Starting New At Golf) equipment with the program, and then transition older campers to real golf clubs
and balls using US Kids Golf clubs that are the correct weight and length for juniors. The morning golf session will
conclude with lunch at the Fairway Cafe!
Thursdays on the Green
On Thursday evening, after 4:30, Juniors are encouraged to play and pay only a cart fee when accompanied by an
Adult. Adults pay cart fee only as well.
Pickle Power Fridays
Fridays, campers will head down to the beautiful, new 5-court BMC Pickleball Center and will be introduced to one
of the fastest growing sports in the country…Pickleball. USAPA Pickleball Ambassadors and Club Pros Bob and
Elizabeth Higginbottom will teach campers the basics of the game and lead them through fun drills that will get
them ready to enjoy the game with friends and family.
Pooling Around
Every year campers should refresh their swimming skills. Our daily pool play time will incorporate some stroke
instruction and water safety reminders taught by our lifeguards.
After-Camp CLINICS and LESSONS
Golf, pickleball and tennis clinics along with swimming lessons are available for children after camp. Please contact the Tennis Pro Shop at (828)387-4208, ext. 4; Golf Pro Shop at (828) 387-2372 or the Pool at (828)387-4208,
