Did you have a clubhouse/treehouse as a kid?

I lived with various relatives at different times, so I didn't have anything permanently. At my grandmother's house I had a favorite tree, and I would tie things to the branches up there and keep them, and I even had a favorite spot where I could sleep without falling off. But I never had a treehouse there. At my mother's place once, my stepbrother built a clubhouse. It was sooo neat. It was actually rebuilt out of a shed that was falling apart, and at one point it had electricity before, so he rewired it so we could use the electricity. It was almost like having a mini house, and I liked it better than the trailer my mother lived in at the time. However, the funny thing was that once we had this awesome clubhouse built, we discovered a cave under a waterfall, and wound up hanging out there even more than at the clubhouse. :P I want to have a clubhouse or treehouse for my son when he's bigger. :)

I built one in a tree in the lot next door to our house. We moved away & that lot is now developed. The tree is now right beside someones porch & the clubhouse is still in it. They even added a rope ladder down to the porch. Guess I did a pretty good job building it.

My brother and I had a tire swing. we also had this house in the backyard that we painted. Each wall was a different color outside and in. It was ridiculous. But kinda awesome. I played in it a lot when I was a kid. I had a chalkboard inside and a few other things. I loved it. It wasn't really a "clubhouse" persay and definitely not a tree house. Oh we also had a tree that we could climb and play in. That was fun also.

well when i was a kid the only tree house or clubhouse i have had was basically a fort we use to make out of anything we can come up with at the time from snow to couch coushins.so for my kids now we build ones all the time to have fun.blankets and coushins are the best.pattie

Thats exactly what we did Vicki!! Made tents and forts with old blankets and stuff. We didnt really have the right kind of trees to build a tree house really. The tents were fun though, and our Moms let us camp out in them overnight when we wanted too. One night we didnt know we spilled some Kook Aid and we woke up with ants all over us!! LOL Needless to say we didnt really look forward to doing that anytime soon. We were miserable, and no telling how many we probably ate while we slept! UGH! Bay Lay Gray xx

I used to have a play house, it was a really girly, Playskool brand one. I used to play in it all the time with my friends. And We used to pretend my tricycle was our car.

We had a massive garden when I was a kid and it was full of trees, bushes and great places to hide and make camp and hide out! We used to have our own secret passwords so that we could get into our little hiding place. We used to pretend we were fighting the baddies and even had bow and arrows, I guess it was cowboys and indians, no one wanted to be an indian though.

My friends and I had a treehouse. We collected scrap wood from the many houses that were going up in our neighborhood and built a treehouse in a tree that was dividing two farm fields. We enjoyed the treehouse very much and then one day we went to the treehouse and it was gone! Where the treehouse and trees used to be was a new dirt road. Soon more houses sprang up. We were getting older and in our teens and never chose to rebuild in a different tree. I never built one for my kids but they never seemed to miss it since they were busy doing other things. My son and his friends did build a halfpipe for skateboarding when they were teenagers. Later on when he was in college they sold it since they were not at home that much to use it.

I never had any treehouse or clubhouse when I was kid. I had a group of friends who had around 7-8 kids in it..!! As we live in a town we didn't get any tree to make a tree house and never thought of a clubhouse before.!! But we used to have a lunch party twice a year..!! We used to bring clothes and carpets and make a tent out of them in our terrace . We used to decorate it well and put nice cusions around to sit over and play cards and scrabble or monopoly!! Each one of us has to bring atleast one dish from home..!! And some of us would bring something from market like a packet of chips and coldrinks. It used to be a great fun those day. :)

I guess you can say I did. Though it wasn't a treehouse, but rather a big tall flowery bush that was kind of enclosed. The way that it grew it even had an entrance! LOL My sister, friends and I made it into a clubhouse, though our club didn't last long. I think it was because we could never decide on who would be what LOL such as president, vise president, treasurer, etc and the club ended soon after. It's just as well as it wasn't waterproof anyway! LOL

I did not have one but always wanted one. We took sheets and thumbtacks and pinned blankets to the walls. This did not make my mom happy. I built my children one. It has three rooms. When they were younger they oldest two played in it, now they seem just to throw old toys in it.

Yes, i did. And I had alot of fun helping my dad build it. For years it was me and my friends favorite hang out spot. Now 19 years later, its still in the back yard. But its rotting and falling apart. Its not safe at all. Sometimes when I mowing the backyard and i look up at it, it brings back many old memory's that I really miss.

I've had a tree house since I first learned to climb a tree at 5 or 6 years old... well at first they were just imaginary, but when I learned to wield a hammer they got more substantial, although mostly they were just boards nailed to a couple of branches. I got arrested once when I was 9... I got caught stealing Glade air freshener for one of my tree houses.

i had an awesome treehouse when i was younger. it was not really a treehouse as much as it was a shed raised up about 10 feet supported by 4x4's on the corners. it had a fireman's pole for sliding down and everything. i would have little sleepovers, sometimes we'd bring out extension cords and hook up a little tv.

After having read the toptic ,I knew Iwould like to have one ,but now I am man .Though its my childhood's wishes ,now I'd like to have one for the one who wants to have one.

no. i didn't have any but i really wish i had one

My mom built my sister and i a treehouse when i was 5 and my sister was 2. Theres photos of us stealing veggies from moms garden so we could "cook" in the treehouse...and the photos of my sister eating a raw onion. Sadly last spring after 20 years of standing it sunk and and is now a slanted house. We spent many many many hours playing out there. It had a deck and a ladder and a slide...furniture and a real window.

I didn't have one as a kid but I would not mind having one, one day. I did love climbing trees though. I also would like to have a pet monkey. I could learn a lot from him. How to get such powerful arms. How to swing from tree to tree.(visions of Tarzan just flashed to mind, but I have to remember I'm Superman not Tarzan. I'm the man of steel not the man of the apes) LOL I would built it on a fruit tree, then breakfast would never be too far away. One day Jane, one day! LOL
