EXPLORE Sports – for those who like action and challenges

Spain

Look forward to our study trip to the Canary Islands with energizing training and activities.

The Canary Islands offer wild nature, in addition to plenty of sun and warmth. We steer clear of the tourist areas and find the hidden gems with volcano visits, spectacular mountain hikes, off-road cycling, and Via Ferrata (see video).

The beaches invite you to surfing, beach volleyball, water activities, and beautiful sunsets.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is folk high school expensive?
Some believe that folk high school is expensive, but it is significantly cheaper to live in a dormitory at a folk high school than to rent a student room.

With us, you get your own room, access to a washing machine and dryer, a kitchenette with a refrigerator and stove, common rooms, a fitness room, a gym, and other activity rooms, and prepared meals 4 times a day.
What does the price for EXPLORE Sports cover?

The price includes the trip abroad to the Canary Islands, all trips in Norway, line equipment, a season pass for Hurdal Ski Center, and all activities on the line. Minimum half board is included on our travels. However, we reserve the right to make price changes due to circumstances beyond the school’s control, such as significant changes in flight prices, exchange rates, fuel costs, government mandates, security situations, war, unrest, or cancellations in transport services. In such cases, it may be necessary to adjust the price to carry out the trip. The school will, in that case, strive to limit the cost increase as much as possible. If the price increase exceeds 10% of the line price, the student will have the right to withdraw from the trip without further costs.
Is this line right for me?
The line should suit everyone who is interested in activity and wants to try new things!
What are the facilities like for the line?
The school has access to its own frisbee golf course, an artificial turf pitch a bike ride away, a sports hall, miles of cycling/skiing opportunities outside the door, and a climbing hall/padel tennis courts near the school. There are also two modern weight rooms at the school.
