Art & Entertainment Clubs

Champlain Crochet is a space for people to de-stress and crochet in an easygoing but invigorating environment. Whether you're an expert or know nothing about crochet, the club is a space for everyone to learn and support one another.

Bringing your own supplies is not required for participation, but is encouraged. We have yarn, crochet hooks, stitch markers, and yarn needles that club attendees can use.

Join the Anime Club to discuss and watch anime that students have voted on. Each week students put in their suggestions that correspond to a theme that members decide on each month. Other activities include trivia, karaoke, a jukebox, discussion on manga, and anime tier lists! Join us in our exploration of the Japanese animation and manga industry! 

We are a completely student-run theater club that produces a show each semester. We are an audition-based club, but we also have positions in tech and encourage students to join our discord to keep informed about what opportunities we have open! We meet twice a week until tech week and hold auditions early in the semester. We do not perform musicals.

The Champlain College Dance Team is a fun way for students to dance in college without the pressure of tryouts. Previous dance experience is appreciated but is not required. We work on many fun and unique projects during the year and experiment with different dance styles. At the end of the year, there is an opportunity to perform at the annual Champlain College Dance Team (CCDT) Showcase, with original choreography from our members. We strive to have a positive and safe environment for everyone to be in their bodies comfortably while dancing.

The Champlain Destiny Club is an inclusive place for fans of the game "Destiny 2" to talk about and enjoy the game with fellow students. Over the semester, we host many events ranging from raid nights to in-game fashion contests on our discord server and sometimes in person. Our club is open to anyone of any skill level, and we are always happy to accept and meet new members!

The Design Club is a place for students from any major to connect with others who have an interest in graphic design. We'll engage in club challenges, peer review critiques on personal and academic projects, and go on occasional trips to local design companies and art galleries. The goal is to have fun and explore creative subjects together in a relatively informal but organized way.

Do you like playing or listening to music? Come join us as we hang out and play, practice, and write music. Plan out sets for The Grind, break out into small ensembles, and more!

The Grind is an open mic coffee house that provides a safe space for people to express themselves through performance. The audience can relax, meet new people, and spend time with friends. Every Wednesday from 9:00-11:30 PM in Fireside Lounge, there is a player's sheet; it's first to sign-up, first to play. We have a sound system and an electric piano for acoustic music. There's always snacks/coffee available. Our goals are to provide a safe environment for creative expression and creative community and to create an environment that develops and nurtures our performers.

We are Champlain College's Improv Troupe! Our style of improv performance is short-form comedy games. Troupe members are given prompts by the audience, and then we create hilarious scenes to watch and be a part of. We perform a few times a semester, so keep an eye out for our posters!

Zero cards? Zero experience? Zero problem. The Magic The Gathering Club strives to provide a place for anyone to learn how to play Magic, regardless of experience level, gender, or background.

Our club is driven by a collective curiosity to explore the intricate artistry that makes horror movies so irresistibly captivating. Geared toward those with a penchant for the mysterious, the horrifying, and the thrilling, our aim is to dissect the essence of exceptional horror. While this will mainly be done through weekly screenings (with free snacks provided) that cover a diverse range of films from chilling classics to modern gems, our hope is to ignite a discussion following our screenings that transcends the screen to include other forms of horror media.

The Tabletop Games Club is a place for people to gather to play tabletop games and socialize. We provide a large variety of games that members can freely use. Don't know what to play? Find a club head and we'll help you get set up with a game. Our club is all about coming together and meeting new people with shared interests, and we'd love to have you there!

Women In Games (W.I.G.) is a club that was created to show the value that women, femme-identifying, non-binary professionals, and allies hold within the Game Studio at Champlain College. By providing its members with access to technology, and conducting professional development workshops with keynote guest speakers, there is an elimination of any barriers that may be held within the industry. W.I.G. at Champlain College works with two organizations, Women in Games International (W.I.G.I.) as well as the Women In Games (W.I.G.) based out of the UK. Join W.I.G. to meet and collaborate with different students in an inclusive environment, as that is when the best ideas come together!
