This club helps build skills such as persistence, teamwork, strength, hand eye coordination and most of all its fun! Our club involves the fun, well-known game spike ball. See here for more information: https://spikeball.com/pages/official-rules. I know many of my peers enjoy this game so we wanted to make it available to all students. It's a sport that's not available normally in school, it devolves a lot of skills, it is fun, and doesn't require a lot of effort - so anyone can do it.

Our hiking club is a space for people to meet others, develop new interests, get out of their comfort zone, and spend time in natural without the constraints of daily life. In this technological era it's often hard to find time to reconnect with yourself and so we hope that this club will allow others to have that chance. We plan on planning hikes twice a month on Sundays as well as meetings on Wednesdays during lunch every two weeks. We don't plan on this club being a major commitment and truly want to allow people to enjoy hiking without that stress.
All our hikes will be considered "hang-outs" outside of school - none of these hikes will be required or sponsored by the club, and they are completely optional. The club meetings will be held before "hang-outs" to give information about the hike. We also plan on having slides presentations to learn about hiking in general during our in-school meetings!
- Learning the basics of hiking
- Meeting others with similar interests
