428: Building Year-Round Engagement in Seasonal Clubs w/ Hannah Bradford Cedar Creek Club

Some clubs operate year-round. Others? 

They pack a full year’s worth of hospitality into just six months—and that’s exactly what happens at Cedar Creek Club, where Hannah Bradford helps lead the charge.

Hannah didn’t take the traditional path into private clubs. With a background in sports science and hospitality, she found herself in membership services before taking a leap to join one of the most fast-paced, seasonal clubs in the industry. Cedar Creek isn’t just a club—it’s a tight-knit, summer camp-style community where members return year after year, expecting nothing less than perfection.

We dive into:

*How she transitioned into private clubs and what drew her to Cedar Creek.
*The unique challenges of running a seasonal club with a short, high-energy window.
*Keeping members engaged even when the club is closed for half the year.
*Why Cedar Creek feels more like “adult summer camp” than a traditional private club.
*What she’s learned about leadership, team culture, and making every moment count.

Hannah brings enthusiasm, adaptability, and a true passion for hospitality, and this conversation is full of insights on seasonal operations, member engagement, and career growth in private clubs.
