• Grades 4-8: Dungeons & Dragons

  This club is for beginner and experienced level players of DnD. DnD is a fantasy-based tabletop role-playing game (TTRPG). Each player in a “party” creates their own character to play and embarks on an adventure. They choose a special class, which gives them special abilities every few levels. The Dungeon Master (DM) serves as a referee and storyteller for the game, while maintaining a setting in which the adventures occur. The DM also plays the role of non-player characters (NPCs). Together, the party solves problems, engages in battles, explores, finds treasure, and uncovers knowledge. In the process, the players earn experience points and level up to become increasingly more powerful over a series of gaming sessions.

• Grades 4-8: Magic the Gathering

  Magic: The Gathering is a card game in which players, like wizards, cast spells, summon creatures, and exploit magic objects to defeat their opponents. Jump into this amazing gaming experience with the collector’s card game Magic the Gathering (MTG). Combining mythologies and story lines inspired from many different cultures, MTG allows dreams and imagination to thrive in this card game. Students will learn new strategies and formats for playing Magic: the Gathering all while having a fun time and building cooperative and collaborative skills through playing the game. Magic: The Gathering has been officially named the most complex game in the world by MIT; it encourages strategic and logical thinking skills. All students, from beginner to advanced, are encouraged to join our Magic Club. Students are encouraged to bring their own decks; we do have a limited number of decks to borrow. We build our card collection as students take home cards from our draft tournaments and are able to use those cards to construct their own decks. It is recommended to bring a 20-sided spin down die and other dice in a bag for counters. These items can be purchased online or at local game shops such as Harrison's in Salem, The Castle in Beverly, or Nostos Boutique in Ipswich.

• Grades 3-8: Glass Art

  North Shore Glass School returns to Harborlight! Students in this class learn the ancient art of glass fusing! This class requires no prior experience and is ideal for students with an artistic flare or who are interested in trying something new. Students are taught through demonstrations and hands-on instruction learning different methods for cutting, working with, and arranging glass. They’ll learn about color, composition, and other art terms to further their understanding of glasswork. All students are taught the basic building blocks of working with glass through specific small projects including pendants, coasters, sandblasted cups, and etched design. After making glass creations each participant will complete a larger project such as a large serving platter, a unique and ornate jewelry bowl, or a sun catcher! Art pieces go to the glass school for kiln work and firing and then are brought back to our students the following week. The fee for the entire session, including all glass art materials and safety items is $275.
