The Thurmont Conservation and Sportsman's Club (TCSC) is a private organization. If you are interested in joining, we suggest that you participate in some of our matches and get to know a few of our members. The only event open to non-members is trap on Tuesday and Friday nights, from 5:30pm until 10:00pm. You will need a sponsor to join.

Many people contact us to ask, "I just want to rent a range for a few hours to zero my sights, how much does that cost?" or "How much is the pool fee for a non-member?" Unfortunately, we do not rent ranges or the pool to non-members, you can use the facilities as a guest, as long as you are physically accompanied by a current club member.

NOTE: No application can be accepted IF you do not include your spouse's (or domestic partner's) information OR if you do not have a sponsor!
• Prospective members must attend a monthly membership meeting (7:00p.m. on the 1st Thursday of the Month) and will be required to stand and explain to the membership why they want to become a member of TCSC. The range test should also be taken during this meeting.
• The membership committee will then perform the prescribed background checks.
• The prospective member will be required to attend the next monthly membership meeting, where their membership shall be voted upon by the club membership. If accepted by the membership, the new member shall pay the required initiation fee (currently $200) and dues (prorated - $25 per remaining month through December of the current year).
• The new member shall be required to attend the "New Member Orientation" on the Saturday following the membership meeting. Time is announced at each general membership meeting. After completion of the course, and having passed the written range test, they shall receive their range card, and they shall have full access to all the facilities of TCSC as a probationary member. Swimming pool access and camping require additional fees.
