SURF CLUB FOR KIDS

 

A world of fun opens up for children when they participate in The Surf Club, the resort’s new free-standing clubhouse with water feature that will keep kids busy and delighted the entire day. The Surf Club features a Hawaiian Surf Simulator, custom built for Harbor Beach, allowing one to four children at a time to “surf” the waves. For those in need of more practice, a simulated hotel associate will pop up on the video game to suggest surfing lessons.

The clubhouse also includes a theater room with stadium seating, a 65-inch plasma television over a stage and over-sized bean bag chairs, as well as a media room with four Macs, two additional televisions and two Xbox 360s. Four underwater digital cameras are available for kids’ use with a kid-friendly photo formatting program for downloads. Surf Club kids can then take their individual photos and make personalized souvenirs with supervised use of heat presses; souvenirs include t-shirts, puzzles, mouse pads, mugs and more.

There’s arts and crafts, games, puzzles and more at the Surf Club.


The Surf Club, for children ages 5-12, is open 9am – 4pm daily, and 6pm – 10pm on Sunday through Thursday. Fee: $25 registration fee (first 2 hours); $10 each additional hour. A $50 pre-pay for 4 hours, includes T-shirt & lunch. Call Ext. 6735 or visit the poolside Recreation Center for more information.
