Travel

Roadtrip South Africa - Together we will travel in South Africa and explore this amazing part of Africa. The school has its own partner/bus company that will take us around. It will be everything from Nelson Mandela's Africa - meeting local youth through the YMCA - helping other youth in a difficult everyday life. And of course get access to selected great golf courses, surf on the southernmost African coastline and experience a variety of sports activities!

The Alps - Fantastic days of powder skiing and steep slopes in the Alps. Schladming is the host of the Alpine Skiing World Championships, and we head down to test the slopes. This area offers well-groomed slopes, park facilities and good off-piste opportunities , and the Dachstein Glacier - where we can ski at almost 3,000 meters.

Skiing and kitesurfing

The winter in Valdres is fantastic! When the snow lies like a white blanket, we find TwinTip, snowboarding, Randonneski and alpine skiing. Valdres Alpine Center is only 10km away from the school and invites you to play, jibbing, gate driving and more. Hemsedal and Tyin/Filefjell are also only an hour's drive away from the school, and are obvious places to visit for anyone who loves to ski . If we are not on the slopes, we go on ski tours, both prepared cross-country trails and untouched mountain ranges. Kiting on snow is also one of the winter activities. We travel on summit trips where we seek out virgin powder. You will learn about avalanches and safe travel in the winter mountains, and gain avalanche competence for safe skiing in the mountains.

Surfing and sports

The autumn period will offer a lot of golf until the snow puts an end to it, and the winter offers a lot of skiing - but in between we also have time for several other activities: Surfing, rafting, climbing, mountain biking, sand volleyball . Beyond the autumn and winter there will also be ball games ; volleyball, basketball, football, ultimate. In addition, we have sessions where we train fitness and strength. In Jotunheimen we will also climb some of Norway's highest mountain peaks - both summer and winter.

Golf

Valdres has one of Norway's finest golf courses! Valdres Golf Club is the school's partner. This will be our classroom during the autumn term. Here we will work on the basics of the game of golf, rules and etiquette. Beginners get a chance to learn the game, while experienced players get the opportunity to develop their game. We have training sessions with our own pro (professional golf coach from the Golf Association), where we work on technique, personal development and tactics. We will also go out and visit other courses in Norway. After a long and good winter with fantastic skiing days, spring is finally here. Then we will go out again in search of freshly cut grass.

How to finance your school year?

Some people think that folk high schools are expensive, but it is significantly cheaper to live in a boarding house at a folk high school than to live in a dormitory and pay for your own food. See the calculation example below:

School costs per month (9) (board, lodging, all travel and activities) NOK 18,883.
- Support from the Loan Fund per month (9) (stipend level for 26-27) Kr. 16169,-
You must cover yourself per month Kr. 918,-
