Outdoor life beginner
This is what we do Questions and answers Travel Secure your spot!
Want to spend a year on outdoor activities, nature experiences, personal development and new challenges?
Here you get the opportunity to explore outdoor life, no matter how much experience you have! Do you love being outdoors, but don't have much experience with outdoor life? Do you want to learn more about hiking, equipment, cooking on a campfire and activities in nature? Then the Outdoor Life Beginner line is for you.
When you come to us, you will learn the basics you need to be safer outdoors. You will try your hand at trip planning , maps and compasses, clothing, packing a bag, cooking and lighting a campfire – and gain experience with various activities in the mountains, in the forest and on the water. Everything happens in a safe environment, and you do not need to have any previous experience.
Throughout the year we try many different activities, such as hiking, canoeing and kayaking, rafting, climbing, fishing, skiing, alpine skiing, snowboarding and surfing. You also get to help decide some of the content along the way. The goal is for you to experience mastery, have great nature experiences and perhaps discover an outdoor interest that you want to take with you further.
During the year you will also have the opportunity to join a study trip to Lanzarote, with surfing, swimming, diving, exercise, good food and cultural experiences. You can also choose to go on one of the other lines' study trips, or stay at school. In May the whole school goes together to Greece , and the rest of the year is filled with trips and activities both in the local area and elsewhere. You will also have the chance to travel to Cambodia on our school project!
Outdoor activities Beginner is more than outdoor activities.
It's about community, nature experiences and discovering what you're good at. You don't have to be experienced or particularly sporty to start – we learn together. Throughout the year you'll gain memories, friendships and skills that will last long after the folk high school year is over.
Are you ready for a year filled with nature experiences, mastery and community?
