Classes and activities
On-site activities
All of our activities are deeply rooted in Norwegian traditions of sports and outdoor life, ensuring plenty of outdoor fun! Students will experience authentic Norwegian traditions under the guidance of qualified instructors. These activities are an integral part of learning Norwegian.
Students will have the opportunity to try a wide range of activities. During the first week, we begin with group activities to help everyone get to know each other and familiarize themselves with the school grounds. Afternoon activities vary each day, allowing students to choose from several options. We make full use of the school's facilities and surrounding area, including a large gym equipped with various sports equipment, a climbing wall, a bouldering room and a dance studio. Available activities include sand volleyball, soccer, capture the flag, dodgeball, dance, swimming, canoeing, running and hiking.
Morning and other gatherings
Each morning, we gather to sing Norwegian songs, providing students with a deeper understanding of Norwegian culture. This activity is very popular, with everyone enjoying the chance to sing along. In the past, songs like "Forelska i Lærern" by The Kids and "Gøy på Landet" have been among student favorites. We also listen to Norwegian pop music during these sessions.
In the evenings, students socialize and eat together in the living room. They may stay outside, in the dorms or explore the surrounding areas with dorm leaders. Students can enjoy may play billiards, table tennis and various boardgames in the living room, as well as participate in movie nights. Additionally, they have access to pianos, guitars, drums and a dance room.
Mountain camping hike
Our mountain camping trip is always a highlight. Students hike to the campsite, which takes about an hour and a half each way. At the campsite, they can swim, play outdoor games, and learn essential skills like setting up and taking down a tent. In the evening, we barbecue "pinnebrød," sausages and hamburgers before spending the night under the stars.
Throughout this experience, we emphasize orientation, teamwork, and respect for nature. Activities like climbing, camping, and hiking allow students to fully immerse themselves in Norwegian outdoor life and appreciate the beauty of nature.
