Kid's Activities

Kid’s Activities and the Youth Program at Linville Ridge allow children staying or visiting on the mountain to participate in entertaining and educational activities, while giving their parents/grandparents a chance to enjoy their own activities.

Our Youth Center, located under the Belvedere, was recently remodeled and has a craft area; foosball, pool and air hockey tables; a plasma TV; and many games and activities. The children’s playground, which is adjacent to the swimming pool, is a great place for exercise and fun.

A Day Camp is available to children and grandchildren of Linville Ridge members and guests.

The Youth Center also allows kids to also participate in golf and tennis lessons during the youth center hours every Tuesday. Thursday mornings are dedicated to outside activities, with afternoons spent swimming in the heated pool and Fridays are typically designated as Field Trip Day.
