Students Looking Forward to Spring

As seasons are ending and spring is approaching, students are getting excited about all the fun things Northwood has to offer. After spring break, Northwood will switch to the spring schedule with classes in the morning and co-curricular activities (cocos) in the afternoon. Most student-athletes, other than soccer players, will have finished their season and be able to try a different coco for the spring, such as golf, intramurals, volleyball, NOC, lacrosse, and more. There are a lot of things students look forward to in the spring, such as senior privileges, which are chosen by Heads Council, and weekend activities like paintball, mini golf, canoeing, kayaking, and rock climbing with Bobby, as well as the bigger events like spring fest and prom. Returning students at Northwood were asked what their favorite things to do in the spring are to help get students excited for the last few months of school.

Sophia Schupp ‘24 looks forward to “Hanging out outside and going to the beach. I’m looking forward to getting tan and hanging out with friends.”

Junior Teegan Wardlaw agrees. “I like to go to the beach and hang out outside.”

Teegan’s brother, Wyatt Wardlaw ‘24, looks forward to spending more time outside. “I like to exercise a lot, we have a really nice outdoor community, so I like to go on runs around the lake. I’m going to do intramurals because it sounds like a lot of fun,” he added.

“I’m excited for intramurals. I like playing soccer with everyone,” Eduard Broche, a senior, said.

“I like to hang around with my friends outside and play golf,” added Julianne Broche ’25.

Junior Sydney Kuder enjoys “Going to the beach and playing golf with my friends.”

“I like playing Spike Ball out on the upper turf,” Cara Dempsey ’25 added.

“I like to play golf, go to the gym, and hang out at the beach,” senior Alexis Trudeau said. “I also like to have a morning [class] schedule because we have free time in the afternoon,” he added.

“My favorite thing to do in the spring is play golf or go to the campfire on weekend nights,” said Trey Zeren ’25.

“I’m excited for golf, spike ball, and hanging at the beach,” added senior Owen Flynn.

Sam Lyne ’24 is a Senior hockey player, and his season just ended. “I’m excited to play golf this spring,” he said when he was asked about his co-co plans.

“And I’m going to continue with crew,” said Gus Garvey ’25. Gus is an independent student. The crew team runs during the fall and spring.

Jenny Tran ’25 is also an independent student at Northwood. “I’m not sure what will be offered yet this spring, but I will want to participate in the Northwood Outing Club (NOC).” NOC takes students on fun adventures in the Adirondacks, and spending time outside in any capacity during the spring is a great way to elevate your Northwood experience.

“I will also do NOC,” said Ashley Guevara ’24.  Both Ashley and Jenny have been NOC members for their tenure at Northwood, and they recommend it to anyone who has a free spirit and wants to get outside.

The students’ consensus is that the spring co-curriculars will be a nice refresher and a good way to cap off the year. The full list of activities will be out soon.
