Erskine Lakes Beach Club is offered to all ELPOA members. This very well structured and organized club offers activities and swim lessons for children ages 4-16 for approximately 8 weeks. Beach Club’s counselors are American Red Cross certified instructors. Lessons range from water exploration and basic skills for younger children, stroke refinement and endurance skills for children 7-13 and lifeguarding skills for teens (must be 15). Swimming lessons are held during the week at all three beaches from the end of June through August. Beach Club children are organized into three groups, small fry ages 4-8, pre-teens ages 9-12 and teens ages 13-16.
Activities offered by age group are:
4 year olds - swim lessons, story time, games, and arts & crafts.

In addition to the daytime activities, there are social activities offered one night a week for each age group. Beach Club organizes field trips throughout the summer season. A karaoke night and campfire on the grounds at the Weis Ecology Center for teens, sport competitions with surrounding area lakes, and trips to the bowling alley. New this year is a young person’s ball inside the Hilltop Clubhouse for small fry's and preteens. Operating money is raised through dues and fundraising events. Our annual Tricky Tray this August is our largest fundraiser, and a great time, too. There is a quiche luncheon one Tuesday during the summer and family bingo and sundae nights have proven to be great fun for all. Awards Night, the culmination to the Beach Club season, is held at the Main Beach amphitheater, with special evening performances by the children. There's an additional yearly fee for membership into this club. The membership fees are $110.00 for the first child and $80.00 for each additional child. Beach Club focuses on providing the best social and recreational activities for children and promotes a close friendly relationship among it members!
