Clubs & Activities
A rich variety of extracurricular activities provide opportunities for involvement, leadership, and service. Students are encouraged not only to join, but create clubs and groups that reflect their interests. For this reason, the mixture of clubs and activities at Rivermont is constantly evolving. Below are examples of the options currently offered.
Rivermont also has a number of partner clubs within the community to provide students easy access to programs like chess classes or Brownie and Girl Scout troops. Information about these community programs is available on the student activities board in Becherer Hall.

These students are tasked with designing, building, and programming a robot to accomplish specific tasks on a 12’x12′ playing field. Students form teams each fall and practice 1-2 times per week until the competition begins in late winter. Teams have the opportunity to compete at the local, regional, and national levels.
