The simple joy of uninterrupted family time has become increasingly rare these days. Dinner conversations compete with notification pings, weekend outings are documented through screens, and quality family moments often dissolve into everyone retreating to their devices. Many parents with the best intentions find themselves struggling to spend quality time with their children because of this.
We understand. Between demanding work schedules, school activities, kids sports and the constant pull of technology, it can feel like an uphill battle. The pressure to be "always on" leaves little space for the unhurried moments—impromptu conversations, shared laughter, and traditions that children carry into adulthood.
Brookside Country Club has thoughtfully designed our calendar with events that encourage everyone to set devices aside and BE with one another. From holiday brunches to themed dances, poolside celebrations to outdoor movies under the stars, we create environments where families rediscover such a simple pleasure.
Let's explore how Brookside's events provide a wonderful backdrop for your family's most cherished memories.
Spring Family Traditions
Easter Egg Hunt
Watch your children's eyes light up with excitement at our annual Easter Egg Hunt Brunch. While everyday moments tend to slip by, nothing compares to Brookside's tradition where children line up along our Terrace Patio before racing down the grand hill in pursuit of colorful treasures. This signature event—complete with the Easter Bunny on-site printed photos families can take home—has become a cherished rite of spring for generations of members.
Families gather over a delicious brunch featuring breakfast classics and special entrées before the egg hunt begins. Don't forget to bring your Easter baskets for a morning of joy that pulls everyone away from screens.
Easter Sunday Brunch
Following our Egg Hunt event, be present with your family on Easter Sunday. The Easter Bunny also makes a special appearance, hopping from table to table to greet families as they dine. This brunch features thoughtful touches like an omelet station, classic eggs benedict, and specialties including a carving station—all in a setting that naturally encourages conversation and connection.
Families linger at the table sharing stories. Children learn the pleasure of unhurried meals with parents who are fully engaged, while adults appreciate the luxury of celebrating together without meal preparation or devices. It's a pause in our busy lives to reconnect with what matters most.
Ladies Spring Arrangement Workshop
Ladies are invited to unplug and engage their senses through hands-on floral design. Led by florist experts, this evening offers beautiful arrangements and a rare opportunity for women to connect in meaningful conversation while creating something with their own hands.
Early Summer Family Celebrations
Mother's Day Brunch
Celebrate the heart of your family with an experience that gives Mom what she truly craves—your undivided attention.
Our Mother's Day Brunch elevates the ordinary with luxurious offerings from raw bar selections to carving stations, all designed to create an atmosphere where devices stay tucked away and conversation flows naturally among generations.
Preakness Stakes
When was the last time you dressed up together just for fun? Members don their finest derby attire—spectacular hats, dashing suits, and colorful dresses—creating a festive atmosphere where phones are forgotten in favor of animated conversation and shared excitement.
Father Daughter Dance
Our themed Father Daughter Dance swaps screen time into time for dads and their daughters. This special evening brings them together through shared activities like dancing, friendship bracelet making, and inspired games and trivia.
Fathers and daughters connect through conversation and laughter in a space designed for making memories that last far longer than any social media post.
Memorial Day Picnic
Kids naturally abandon devices when presented with music, fun games, and frozen treats. Parents find themselves relaxing into conversations with friends while enjoying a delicious spread that includes all of your barbeque favorites.
The poolside setting helps families to reconnect rather than parallel screen time, creating the kind of summer memories that define childhood.
Summer Family Fun
Member Appreciation
Step away from the digital noise for an evening celebrating the people around you. Exquisite hors d'oeuvres, live music, and conversation that flows as freely as the refreshments.
Father's Day Cookout
What makes Dad smile more than anything? Seeing his family's faces instead of the backs of their phones. Join us terrace-side for grilled favorites and desserts worth putting devices down for.
Creating YOUR Family Tradition
Our greatest gift isn't just the events—it's what we provide for your family to establish your own meaningful traditions away from screens.
The families who benefit most from membership are those who intentionally schedule regular club time, whether for Sunday brunches, weekly swims, or monthly game nights. These become anchors of connection in busy lives where digital distractions constantly compete for attention.
Learn how your family can create screen-free traditions and lasting memories through Brookside membership.
