Extra-curricular clubs and activities are an integral part of the Springdale community. Here, learning doesn’t stop when the final bell rings. Our campus comes alive in the afternoons as both day and boarding students come together to lead, participate in, and grow our diverse student clubs. By sharing unique experiences and pursuing mutual interests, our students build lifelong friendships and discover passions that shape their futures.

Whether you are looking to dive deeper into your academic interests, give back to the community, or simply try something entirely new, there is a place for you at Springdale.

Service Learning & Giving Back

At Springdale, we believe in the power of community engagement. Students can earn valuable service learning hours while making a meaningful impact through dedicated groups like the Community Service Club and the Cooking Club.

Club Sports & Recreational Athletics

Athletes and fitness enthusiasts can explore exciting sports outside the standard Athletic Department offerings. These recreational programs focus on skill development, fitness, and fun without the pressure of varsity competition:

• Individual Sports: Refine your technique and enjoy the game with our Tennis, Golf, and Equestrian clubs.

• Seasonal Adventures: Hit the slopes during the winter months with the Skiing Club.

• Team Recreation: Stay active and enjoy high-energy, friendly competition with our popular Intramural Basketball league.

Get Involved: Club sign-ups happen at the beginning of each semester during the Annual Club Fair. If you don’t see a club that matches your specific interest, you can work with a faculty member to start your own!
