The ones I’ve attended have been pretty casual. If it’s a fairly decent-sized club with lots of members with their respective scopes set up, it should be pretty easy to accomodate kids with short attention spans. Of course all clubs are different, so your actual mileage may vary.

Atmob member: We're kid friendly, but the scopes are owned by volunteers who do assess a kid's age and ability to follow directions when looking through the scope sometimes worth thousands of dollars. Every kid is different and it's a tough one to feel out, but I've literally seen someone try to swing on a telescope like it was a monkey bar and that's going to be a hard pass.
