Mondays

Photography with Catrelle Hampton (Ages 8–18)
Have you ever found yourself wishing you had a camera to take a picture of something you encountered duringthe day, or thought something you saw would look amazing in a black and white or sepia tone? Well, then maybe this is the club for you! Join us in the photography world as we learn to take pictures of the world we encounter every day, and share with others a story through the moments in time we capture.
You must provide your own digital camera.

Shakespeare Club with Erin Grady (Middle Grades*)
In this club we will learn about Shakespeare, his times, and his works. Among other activities, we will make models and artwork, play drama games, and prepare scenes from Shakespeare's plays. Toward the end of the spring, we will put on our play for an audience, either at school or for the Evening of the Arts.
*Club open to Senior MAPP students by special request.

Community Service with Christyn Klinck (Upper School)
Do you want to put more volunteer service into the Camelot experience? add more volunteer service to your own life? Join the inaugural season of the Upper School Service Club. We’ll explore ways to serve the community—the school, the city, maybe even the wider world—right here from your school home. We’ll be building this program from the ground up, so come with your ideas and interest, and let’s get to work!

Tuesdays

Programming with Dan Hill (Upper School*)

At the end, students will perform a dance piece that we will create throughout the course of the semester. Dance training is not required, and all are welcomed! Students will be transported to the Durham Arts Council.
Pick-up is from the Durham Arts Council at 5 p.m.

Wednesdays

Chess Club with Paul Creel (Middle Grades and Upper School)

Most importantly we will get lots of practice playing against opponents at our same general skill level.

Just like FIRST® LEGO® League (FLL®), this program features a real-world challenge to be solved by research, critical thinking, and imagination. Guided by adult coaches and the Jr. FLL Core Values, students work with LEGO elements and moving parts to build ideas and concepts and present them for review.

Knitting Club with Judith Kuegler Webster (Ages 8–18)
Knitting is a wonderful way to connect with others, relax at the end of the day, and create something beautiful and meaningful. Learning to knit can help build self esteem and improve fine motor and math skills. Join our knitting club from 3.30pm to 4.30pm on Fridays. Bring a project you are working on or a crazy idea of something you have always wanted to knit. Beginners and knitters of all levels welcome. Snacks will be provided.
