Outdoor Education Programs

  • At the Norwegian School of Nature Life, we offer immersive outdoor education experiences designed to teach essential skills, foster teamwork, and inspire a lifelong connection to nature. Whether through weekly programs or multi-day camps, students will engage in Friluftsliv—the Norwegian philosophy of living simply in nature—while developing leadership, technical, and environmental awareness skills.
