Recommendations for Fun Clubs in High School

Hey guys, I'm trying to explore some clubs to join at my high school. I've already joined a couple of academic ones, but I'm looking for something more 'fun,' not totally related to academics or college apps. Does anyone have any suggestions for fun and unique clubs, or even ideas for starting my own? Would love references of your personally enjoyable experiences!

Hello! It's fantastic that you're wanting to balance your academic clubs with some that are just for fun and personal interest. One cool club that comes to mind is a film club, where members watch, discuss, and maybe even try their hand at making short films. If you love movies, a film club can be a blast!

Another fun club could be a culture or language club, like a French Club or Italian Club if you're learning those languages. These clubs often tend to be more relaxed, with activities such as cooking traditional meals, watching foreign films, or even planning outings to related events or restaurants in your city.

Ever thought of a club around outdoor activities? Hiking, cycling, or even bird-watching can be fascinating, not to mention the great physical exercise you get while having fun!

Another intriguing idea could be hobby-based clubs, like a chess club or a DnD/RPG club if you're into strategy games.

And if you feel creative, why not start a club based on an uncommon interest you have? Maybe you have a passion for magic tricks, beekeeping, or something as diverse as embroidery or origami! Starting a unique club like this not only allows you to pursue something you love, but also gives you the opportunity to bring something new to your school community.

Lastly, remember that while clubs can show colleges your interests and dedication, what's most important is enjoying your time in high school and exploring your passions. Good luck with your club search!
